Nutella Truffles are smooth, creamy chocolate treats made with rich Nutella and coated in cocoa or crushed nuts—an irresistible, bite-sized dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs or crushed digestive biscuits
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup chocolate chips for coating

Instructions
Make the base:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and Nutella until smooth. Add vanilla, salt, and graham cracker crumbs. Mix until combined.
Shape the truffles:
- Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Chill:

Coat with chocolate:
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and place back on the tray.
Decorate (optional):

Set:
- Chill again until the coating is firm. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
