Vegan Protein Ferrero Rocher

My take on a healthier Ferrero Rocher made with better-for-you ingredients and they're also high in protein! Great as a snack or a lighter dessert.

Ingredients

130g hazelnut butter I used Bulk hazelnut smooth butter
70g chocolate protein powder I used Bulk chocolate gourmet vegan protein
1 tbsp maple syrup
60ml milk of choice

For the coating

100g dark chocolate melted
20g chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

In a bowl, mix together the hazelnut butter, maple syrup and milk. Fold in the protein powder and mix until you have a smooth dough consistency.
Shape into 10-12 balls, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Dip each ball in melted chocolate, then roll them in the chopped hazelnuts until fully coated.
Place on a chopping board lined with baking paper and refrigerate again until the chocolate has set.

Notes

I also used chocolate protein crispies, but chopped hazelnuts on their own will work just as well. You can also use lightly crushed puffed rice or rice krispies.

These protein balls are best stored in an air-tight container in the fridge and will last for up to a week.
