Ingredients
- 10 wafer cones
- 2 2/3 cups whole hazelnuts
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 3 1/2 cups milk chocolate, chopped
- 2 1/2 cups dark chocolate, chopped
- For the coating
- 3 1/3 cups milk chocolate
- 1 1/3 cups hazelnuts, roasted and chopped
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Dip the wafer cones lightly in water and place onto a large baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cones start to wilt.
- Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap, then push into your pudding bowls/hemisphere molds, overlapping the cones to cover the sides and bottom of the bowls.
- Place back into the oven for 5 minutes to re-crisp, then remove and allow to cool.
- Make the filling: On a baking sheet, add the whole hazelnuts and place in oven. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the nuts are fragrant.
- In a bowl, add all but a handful of hazelnuts and pour the heavy cream on top. Allow the hazelnuts to steep in the cream for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, add the milk and dark chocolate. Next, heat the cream until just boiling.
- Strain the cream through a fine sieve into the chocolate bowl and allow to sit for 3 minutes. You can throw away the hazelnuts from the sieve.
- Whisk the chocolate and cream together, then divide the ganache between the 2 wafer shells. Leave to cool for at least 4 hours in the fridge.
- When cool, with a melon baller, scoop out a small hole in the center of the chocolate in 1 of the halves.
- Temper the chocolate for the coating and pour equally over each half, then cover with chopped hazelnuts. Using the back of a spoon, gently mix the chocolate and hazelnuts together then set both halves aside to cool.
- When cool, fill the hole you made with the reserved hazelnuts and place the other half on top to sandwich the 2 halves together. You may use any remaining chocolate to fill in the join line if necessary.
- Wrap in gold wrapping paper and present to your Ferrero Rocher loving friends!
