Tips & Tricks
Depending on your chickpeas and the protein powder you use, you might want to add more water or milk to get a smoother mixture.
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.
If the mixture is not sweet enough for you, you can add a bit of stevia to increase the sweetness without adding extra calories.
