Then take a bit of the mixture with your hands or with the help of a teaspoon and form balls the size of a walnut, or the desired size.
Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Once the mixture is finished, roll each ball in the chopped hazelnuts.
Put the truffles in the refrigerator and serve as needed. Enjoy!
