Description

Ingredients

• ¼ cup finely chopped hazelnuts
• ½ cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts
• ⅔ cups almond meal
• 1 tbsp espresso powder
• ¼ cup vanilla bean protein powder
• ¼ cup nutella
• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup honey
• 1 tbsp sugar-free almond, soy, or dairy milk
• 3 oz. melted dark chocolate (I use Ghirardellis 60% dark).

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped hazelnuts, almond meal, espresso powder, and vanilla bean protein powder. (Reserve the coarsely chopped hazelnuts for the shell).
• Add the Nutella, creamy peanut butter, and honey. Using your hands or a rubber spatula, stir together until everything is mixed together. Add a milk to make the mixture into a pliable dough.
• Scoop out a tablespoon and use the palms of your hands to shape it into a ball. Place the shaped balls in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
• Melt the chocolate, and set the coarse hazelnuts in a shallow bowl or plate.
• Take the chilled balls and dip them in the chocolate, roll them in the hazelnuts, and then store in the fridge until ready to eat!
