Gingerbread truffles with hazelnuts and sea salt
Time to make gingerbread truffles with hazelnuts and sea salt for Christmas!
Since we did not find hazelnut butter in the store, we made our own. Do you remember when we made our own quick and easy almond butter? Then no oil was needed. However, we experienced that the hazelnuts were drier, and added a few tablespoons of MCT oil that we found at our mother-in-law’s home. If you do not have MTC oil, it works just as well with any other oil. Keep in mind that it should not give too much flavor just.
Then we mixed everything that was supposed to be in our gingerbread truffles, rolled them and and put them in the freezer. 30 minutes later we dipped our truffles in melted cocoa butter, cocoa and honey. And powdered last but not least them with cinnamon and sea salt.
Yummy – gingerbread truffles with cocoa and sea salt!
