Rocher Balls, an irresistible delight for chocolate and hazelnut fans, can become a unique culinary experience when made at home.
Below, I present a simple recipe that will allow you to savor these delicious balls from the comfort of your kitchen.
Ingredients
Dark chocolate with 50% cocoa: 500 g
Finely ground hazelnuts: 90 g
Icing sugar (impalpable): 80 g
Egg whites: 6
Sugar: 160g
Preparation
Start by sifting the crushed hazelnuts and icing sugar into a spacious bowl.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, incorporating a portion of the sugar at first. As they become thicker, add the rest of the sugar and continue beating until you have a firm meringue.
Combine the meringue with the hazelnut mixture with enveloping movements, using a spatula. Do this gently to preserve the airy structure of the meringue.
