decadent healthier no bake ferrero rocher cups
if you love ferrero rocher candies but want a healthier, plant-based version, these no bake ferrero rocher cups will be your new favorite treat.
they’re rich, chocolatey, and have that perfect balance of creamy and crunchy that we all love in the classic candy, but with a nourishing twist.
taste and texture
these ferrero rocher-inspired cups are everything you could want in a no-bake dessert.
the base is smooth, chocolatey, and slightly chewy thanks to the almond flour, dates, and almond butter.
the filling is a dreamy chocolate hazelnut butter, giving each bite that creamy, nutty richness.
the toasted hazelnuts on top add just the right amount of crunch, taking you right back to the texture of classic ferrero rocher.
they’re sweet, but not overly so, making them feel like a truly indulgent but balanced treat.
how to make them
making these no-bake cups is as simple as it gets!
everything starts in a food processor, where you’ll blend almond flour, flax meal, almond butter, dates, cocoa powder, dairy-free milk, & vanilla into a smooth, sticky dough.
after pressing the mixture into parchment-lined muffin cups, just create a small hole in the center of each and fill it with chocolate hazelnut butter (we love artisana’s for its smooth, pure flavor).
top with toasted hazelnuts, freeze for a couple of hours, and they’re ready to enjoy!
substitutions
one of the great things about these cups is how adaptable they are.
if you don’t have almond flour, you can try using cashew flour or even finely ground oats.
almond butter can easily be swapped for another nut butter, like cashew or peanut, though it will slightly change the flavor.
for the chocolate hazelnut filling, if you can’t find hazelnut butter, you can mix almond butter with a bit of cocoa powder and sweetener for a similar taste.
and for the dairy-free milk, any plant milk works, so go with what you have on hand.
storage
these decadent no bake ferrero rocher cups are best stored in the freezer.
after they’ve set for 2 hours, transfer them to an airtight container, where they’ll keep well for up to 2 weeks.
enjoy them straight from the freezer for the best texture—cold, creamy, and perfectly satisfying.
so if you’re craving a sweet treat that’s rich, chocolatey, and just a bit indulgent, these healthier ferrero rocher cups are a must-try.
they’re proof that you can enjoy a classic candy-inspired flavor without all the added sugars and processed ingredients.
