‘Ferrero Rocher’ Chocolate Fudge with Hazelnut Butter

If you love chocolate peanut butter cups and nutella spread, you need to try these ‘Ferrero Rocher’ Chocolate Fudge Bites.

With rich hazelnut butter, energy boosting MCT oil and dark chocolate drizzled on top, these chocolate fat bombs are super satisfying and will help you to burn fat for fuel and beat sugar cravings.

I always make a double batch and store them in the freezer, that way you can keep them at least 3 months – if they last that long. ;-)

The chocolate hazelnut fudge bites are vegan, gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and keto friendly.

Not a fan of hazelnuts? Replace the hazelnut butter with almond butter, peanut butter (for a ‘snickers’ or ‘reese’s peanut butter cups’ version) or even tahini if you’re a sesame lover like me. I could drizzle tahini on anything and everything, and the soft bitter taste combines great with chocolate too if you ask me.

Do you have a favorite dessert or baked good you’d like me to create a healthier version of? Let me know in the comments if you’d love me to share more refined sugar free desserts and sweet snacks.

Enjoy!

‘Ferrero Rocher’ Chocolate Fudge with Hazelnut Butter

DIRECTIONS:

1. Add the runny hazelnut butter, keto sweetener, melted coconut oil, ALL GOOD MCT oil and sea salt to a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
2. Is your nut butter too dry to mix by hand? Use a small food processor.
3. Pour the fudge into the (silicone) baking cups and put them in the freezer while you prepare the toppings.
4. For the garnish: melt the dark chocolate ‘au bain-marie’ in a double boiler (or in a bowl on top of a pot with hot water).
5. Drizzle the chocolate on top of the slightly chilled fudge bites and sprinkle them with toasted hazelnuts.
6. Place them back in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until the fudge is firm enough to your liking. Store the fudge bites in the freezer; once you put them out, they melt quite quickly.

JULIE’S TIPS & TRICKS:

• You can replace the keto sweetener with vanilla protein powder sweetened with stevia, or another sweetener of your choice (for a non-keto version) such as coconut blossom sugar.
• Also, feel free to substitute the hazelnut spread with peanut butter, almond spread, tahini or any other nut spread of your choice.
