Homemade Vegan Inspired Ferrero Rocher Chocolates Recipe
Homemade vegan inspired Ferrero Rocher chocolates is crunchy on the outside from the crushed cornflakes and hazelnut coating, while the inside is filled with a cocoa-nut butter mixture!
To make this dessert as healthy as possible, I used cornflakes to mimic a wafer layer and add even more crunchiness to the outside. I also opted for my homemade almond butter (made with 100% almonds, no sugar added).
However, you can use any creamy nut butter that you have on hand. As for the chocolate, use the best dark chocolate you can find. Making your own Ferrero Rocher couldn’t be easier!
Every time I serve these truffles, they are an absolute hit! So, let’s make some homemade Ferrero Rocher together!
