Expert Tips

  • Crushing the hazelnuts – use a food processor, Thermomix or rolling pin to finely crush the hazelnuts. 
  • Type of cream – Toblerone truffles require thickened cream (as it’s referred to in Australia) or heavy cream (as it’s known in the US). 
  • Chilling time – a MINIMUM of 6 hours is required to chill the mixture. Any less than this and your truffle mixture will be too soft to roll in to balls.
  • Other truffle coatings – if you don’t want to use hazelnuts to coat the truffles with, you can use crushed almonds instead, or cocoa powder, or even sprinkles.
  • Storing the truffles – the truffles will last up to 1 week in an airtight container in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
