Ingredients
- 500 g hazelnut gelato
- 24 hazelnuts (approximately ⅓ cup), roasted and skinned
- 500 g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
Freezing time 30 minutes
Instructions
Place a lined baking tray into the freezer to chill. Using a small ice-cream scoop or a melon baller, scoop approximately 1 tablespoonful of the hazelnut gelato into a ball. Place onto the lined tray and return to the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm.
Top each ball with a hazelnut and again return to the freezer.
Working with half of the chocolate at a time, place it into a heatproof bowl and place over simmering water. Stir until melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Place a hazelnut gelato ball onto a fork and spoon over melted chocolate, shake off excess chocolate and using a palate knife carefully lift onto the freezer tray and return to the freezer to set, repeat with remaining chocolate and gelato balls. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
