Nutella Treats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup full-fat cream.
02 - 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate, cut into small pieces.
03 - 1/2 tablespoon Nutella.
04 - Pinch of kosher salt.
05 - 1 tablespoon almond liqueur (optional).
06 - Powdered cocoa for rolling.
07 - Crushed hazelnuts or hazelnut flour for rolling.

# Instructions:

01 - Put salt and chocolate chunks into a heatproof bowl, setting it on a folded towel to keep the warmth in.
02 - Boil the cream, then pour it over the chocolate. Let it stay still for 2 minutes before touching it.
03 - Swirl a whisk from the inside out until it's velvety smooth. Stir Nutella and almond liqueur (if adding).
04 - Transfer the mixture to a pan lined with parchment and chill it in the fridge for two hours to get firm.
05 - Roll scooped portions of the ganache into balls, then coat them with cocoa powder or crushed hazelnuts.

# Notes:

01 - A straight whisk gives the smoothest mix every time.
02 - Always stir in a single direction to keep texture even.
03 - Use 55% dark chocolate for a balanced sweet and bitter taste.
