Are you looking for an ultimate fat bomb to satisfy your sweet cravings? Enter this keto Ferrero Rocher recipe that will literally blow your tastebuds. Why? Because at 2.6 g of net carbs per truffle, they are insanely good and hit the right spot in all their chocolatey goodness.
Homemade and Tastes Like Heaven
Anything homemade is good. The main reason is that you know exactly what’s in your food and you’re able to dictate how healthy your meals are.
Take these ultimate keto Ferrero Rocher chocolate truffles as an example. I admit that there are a ton of hazelnut keto recipes out there, but my keto Nutella-like version is incredibly rich and decadent. Although I omitted the biscuit casing for simplicity, I’m confident this is one healthy dessert recipe you’ll want to try.
One Truffle, Many Ways
With just a couple of ingredients, this is definitely one easy dessert recipe!
The great thing about this chocolate truffle is that you can have it in so many ways! There is the traditional version where you dip the truffle balls in melted dark chocolate before rolling them in a bed of crushed hazelnuts, and there is this version with fewer steps where you simply roll chilled chocolate in a ball around a toasted hazelnut.
These healthy chocolate balls are insanely good and a breeze to make!
Sharing Keto Ferrero Rocher is Caring
So you see, you don’t need to sacrifice your no-sugar, keto diet just so you can indulge in something as decadent as chocolate. Aside from the fact that these keto Ferrero Rocher truffles are the perfect high-fat treat that can be enjoyed at any time of the day, the absence of sugar means you will never have to worry about experiencing an insulin slump. It’s a win-win on all sides!
Keep this recipe not just for your own consumption but also as a treat to impress your family and friends who aren’t on a keto diet. Something this good is perfect to give away. Nothing says you care better than treating those you love with something homemade, healthy and indulgent if you ask me!
Top Tips
- If you leave the mix in the fridge so long that it sets more like chocolate, simply pop in the microwave and warm in 10-second bursts to carefully soften. If it warms too much, stir it and return to the fridge.
- If the mix sets a little too much to roll, simply warm the balls slightly in your hands and the coating will soften. This makes adding the chopped hazelnuts easier.
- For the coating, I find that adding some hazelnuts to the palm of your hards and rolling/pushing them into the truffle mix is the best way to get an even coating rather than rolling them in the hazelnuts. They stick better this way.
- The darker the chocolate, the more cream you may need. For 90% chocolate, you may need up to a 3/4 cup of cream.

Keto Ferrero Rocher
Enjoy guys.
Ingredients
- 15 whole blanched hazelnuts
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp chopped hazelnuts 32 g
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 125 g sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate at least 85%
- 2 tbsp hazelnut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt optional, only add if hazelnut butter is unsalted
- low-carb sweetener or Maple Lakanto Syrup optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 355 F (180 C) fan. Place the hazelnuts on a baking tray and toast for 6 minutes until golden. If desired, you can toast them in a dry frying pan as well. Allow to cool completely.
- Place the cream in a pot and heat over medium/low until hot but not boiling. Turn off the heat and add the chocolate chips or dark chocolate, hazelnut butter, vanilla, and salt, and allow to soften for about 4 to 5 minutes. Resist the urge to stir as this leads to a more grainy chocolate truffle mixture. After the chocolate and butter have softened, whisk until smooth. Taste the mix to determine if you would like it sweeter. In this case, you may whisk in some powdered low-carb sweetener or Maple Lakanto syrup to taste.
- Place in the fridge for about an hour or until set enough to roll.
- Once chilled, use a spoon to divide into small truffles. Place a whole hazelnut in the middle and shape into small truffles. Repeat until all the mixture has been used up.
- For a more authentic Ferrero Rocher, you can melt dark chocolate and dip to coat. Today, however, I’m going for a cheats version with fewer steps.
- Roll in chopped hazelnuts and serve.
