Preparation
Begin by sifting the finely ground hazelnuts and powdered sugar into a spacious bowl.
In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff, gradually incorporating a portion of the sugar. As they thicken, add the remaining sugar and continue beating until a firm meringue forms.
Gently fold the meringue into the hazelnut mixture using enveloping movements, preserving the airy structure of the meringue.
Preheat the oven to 120°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a teaspoon, moistened with cold water, to place small portions of the mixture on the tray.
Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 90°C and continue baking for an additional hour.
Once out of the oven, allow the balls to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Place the chocolate-covered balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and let them sit for at least an hour, or until the chocolate solidifies.
Crafting your own Rocher Balls at home is not only enjoyable but also offers the chance to relish a freshly made sweet with quality ingredients and, most importantly, a personal touch.
