Hazelnut Truffles

Vegan Chef Day

Simple, nutty, chocolatey goodness.

Preheat the oven to 200c
Put the hazelnuts in the oven until the skins have darkened. Not all of them will go dark so just roast them until most of them have darkened
Cool the nuts
Rub them between your hands to remove most of the skin
Grind the nuts using the chopper attachment of a hand blender or a good blender
Add the cacao, hemp powder and agave and mix well
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
Take a spoonful of the mixture in your hand and press flat
Put an almond in the centre and fold the chocolate mix around it
Roll between your hands to make it round
One you have done this with all the mixture put the remaining cacao in a bowl
Put each ball in the bowl and swish around so the ball is completely covered in cacao
Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
