Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 3.5 ounces (100 grams) dark chocolate
- 5.3 ounces (150 grams) milk chocolate
- 12.3 ounces (350 grams) dark chocolate (for coating)
- 3.5 ounces (100 grams) white chocolate
Filling:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Nutella
Nuts:
- 1 3/4 – 2 cups (220–250 grams) hazelnuts, whole peeled and toasted
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate-coated loaf pan by melting coating chocolate in a double boiler, carefully brushing the interior with two layers of chocolate. Freeze for 10-15 minutes between each coating to set.
- Create the luscious filling by gently melting three different types of chocolate together. Remove from heat and incorporate Nutella, stirring until the mixture becomes perfectly smooth and glossy.
- Enhance the chocolate mixture by gently folding in roasted hazelnuts, ensuring even distribution throughout the rich chocolate base. Transfer the entire mixture into the pre-coated loaf pan.
- Allow the torrone to partially set by refrigerating for 30 minutes, then generously cover the surface with the remaining coating chocolate, creating an elegant final layer.
- Complete the dessert by loosely covering the pan with foil and chilling for 3-6 hours. This resting period allows the torrone to fully solidify and develop its complex flavor profile.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate melts slowly and evenly using a double boiler to prevent burning or seizing.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner slicing of the torrone.
- Toast hazelnuts beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor and add extra depth to the dessert.
- Use high-quality chocolate for a richer, more luxurious taste that elevates the entire dessert experience.
