Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.
- Step 1: Melt. Melt the Toblerone, butter and cream in a microwave safe bowl for 2 to 3 minutes on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds. In the Thermomix, melt for 3 to 4 minutes, 50 degrees, Speed 2.

Top Tip
Don't rush the chilling! The mixture needs a minimum of 6 hours in the fridge, or it will be too soft to roll into balls. Make it in the morning or the night before you need it.
Storing, Freezing And Gifting
- Store: keep the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Because they're made with cream, they need to stay in the fridge until you're ready to serve them.
- Freeze: freeze them in a freezer proof container for up to 3 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Gift: sit them in small foil or paper cases in a flat cardboard box and tie it with a ribbon. For more ideas, check out my Homemade Christmas Food Gifts.
Recipe Tips
- Melt it gently: use 50% power and stir every 30 seconds so the chocolate melts smoothly.
- Crush the hazelnuts finely: a food processor, Thermomix or rolling pin all do the job.
- Use the right cream: thickened cream in Australia or heavy cream in the US.
- Chill for at least 6 hours: any less and the mixture will be too soft to roll.
- Keep them cold: store the truffles in the fridge until serving time.
