Arrange the hazelnuts on a roasting tray and roast for 10-12 minutes until hot.

Remove them from the oven and set aside 20-25 whole hazelnuts

Finely chop the remaining hazelnuts in a food processor or by hand.

Finely chop the dark chocolate. Add it to a heat-proof bowl alongside the cream.

Heat it in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each time until it becomes a cohesive and smooth mixture.

Stir in some of the chopped hazelnuts. Pour the ganache into a flat dish and place it in the refrigerator to cool.

Leave it to chill for around 3 hours. At this stage, it should be firm enough to begin rolling.

Use a teaspoon to scoop small amounts of ganache. Take a whole hazelnut and place it in the middle of the ganache and form the ganache around it.

Roll it into a ball in your hands.
