Tips & Tricks

  1. Depending on your chickpeas and the protein powder you use, you might want to add more water or milk to get a smoother mixture.

  2. For a better Ferrero touch, don’t blend for too long after adding the hazelnuts. This way, you’ll keep the crunch that makes the original Rochers so satisfying.

  3. If the mixture is not sweet enough for you, you can add a bit of stevia to increase the sweetness without adding extra calories.

FAQS

  1. Can I use a different type of protein powder?

    Yes, you can use any chocolate-flavored protein powder, but it may slightly alter the taste and texture.

  2. How long can I store this mousse?

    You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  3. Can I replace hazelnuts with another nut?

    Yes, you can use almonds or walnuts, but hazelnuts provide the closest flavor to Ferrero Rochers.

  4. Is this recipe suitable for people with nut allergies?
