Truffles, brittle or Mozart balls: pralines are as much a part of the smoothie bowl at Christmas as nut butter. They sweeten gray winter afternoons, make connoisseurs' hearts beat faster and are ideal for sharing and giving as gifts. Unfortunately, there is often a lot of refined sugar and wheat flour as well as animal ingredients such as butter fat or milk powder in the sweet balls.
We think: There is a better way. Our version of the popular Rocher pralines is vegan and tastes just as good as the original.
Making chocolates yourself is time-consuming? Not at all. For our recipe you only need a few ingredients: vegan dark chocolate, our Wholey Sh*t nut butter and of course lots of hazelnuts - ground, chopped and whole. The Wholey Sh*t nut butter is high in fiber, has a high nut content and is only sweetened with coconut blossom sugar... The healthy snack escalation is absolutely inevitable!
But the delicate chocolate-hazelnut pralines with crunchy hazelnuts in the middle are not just good as a snack. They are also an absolute highlight on your breakfast bowl. Yep, exactly. The vegan Rochers are the absolute premium topping on your porridge or smoothie bowl and make cocoa nibs etc. look pretty pale.
The chocolates are also great as a gift. Simply fill a pretty glass with the vegan Rochers or wrap them individually in some tissue or baking paper. A small pine branch and some natural cord for decoration - and Christmas Eve can come.
Do you have a few more minutes? Then simply double the amount of ingredients and make double the portion of vegan Rochers.
Your friends & family will be happy!
Recipe for vegan chocolate hazelnut pralines
Ingredients for about 15 pralines
- 100 g vegan dark chocolate
- 1/2 Glas Wholey Sh*t
- 70 g ground hazelnuts
- 50 g chopped hazelnuts
- about 15 whole hazelnuts
preparation
1. Melt chocolate in a water bath.
2. In a bowl, mix the melted chocolate with Wholey Sh*t and mix with the ground hazelnuts. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for three hours. Alternative: Half an hour in the freezer works too.
3. Pour chopped hazelnuts into a small bowl.
4. Form approx. 1 teaspoon of the chocolate-hazelnut mixture into a ball and press a hazelnut kernel into the middle.
5. Roll the praline smoothly again and warm it in the palms of your hands. Then roll in the chopped hazelnuts. Tip: The hazelnuts will hold better if you press the praline well into the chopped hazelnuts.
6. Chill the finished hazelnut pralines and remove them from the refrigerator about an hour before serving.
