hi ann does fake or compound chocolate
need to be tempered? please reply!
How long time does it take to make it?
Hi Ann can you make a raffaello and a bounty bar chocolate? 🙂
What is the size of the hemisphere pan? I would like to make it but I don’t see the size anywhere
Hi Emily Meijs, If you click on the hemisphere pan link it will take you to the pan on amazon with it’s sizing. The one Ann used was 8 inch x 4 inch.
I’m making this right now!
That’s great, i wanna make one.
Hello
Can i please have the method as to how to make this?
Can u send me a video or step by step directions on how to make this cuz I’d love to make one for my boyfriend. An I don’t want to mess it up.
I will consider making this for Mother’s Day but smaller. My mum loves Ferraro Roche. Thank you how to cook that for the idea
What are the measurements of the hemisphere pan?
Hi Evelien, If you click on the hemisphere pan link it will take you to all those details and a sample product.
How would I make mini Ferrero Rochers?
I tried to make it, but I was having problem making the hazelnut centre.. it always turned up too soft, may I know the temperature and the time needed in the oven ?? thx
Hi Sean, It sounds like it may need to cook for longer. If shouldn’t be solid, but more like a crunch macaron. If it softer than that cook it for longer. Ann made this quite a while ago and can’t recall how long it took but she used a moderate oven around 180 C
Hi, I planning on making this for my mum for Christmas, how long do you think it will keep?
Hi, i am going to try this recipe. Im in AUS but i don’t know where to find the equipment? i clicked the links for amazon but it says it cannot ship to my address? Do you know anywhere else i can purchase the equipment? Thank you
Hi Caprice, a quick online search of australian baking suppliers show that you get these easily in australia.
hi. i am going to try this recipe. but i’m thinking of using tuile cookie batter instead of the wafer cones. would just like your advice on that though. thank you. 🙂
Hi Alicia, Given the nature of tuile mix, you wouldn’t be able to bake it in the same way. You could cook it flat and then while hot, mold it over an upside down bowl and shape as it cools. Whether or not it willbe strong enough to take the weight of the chocolate coating and filling is questionable. You would have to experiment with that.
what if my oven has med.low, medium and high what should be its temperature?
This is when it got opened, it was delicious! Next on my list to make is the sour snake!
Hi Michelle, You did an awesome job. Well done!
Thankyou for sharing the recipe!
Your blog is really amazing. Ive been planning to make this for my bestfriend because she really loves ferrero rocher. Thank you for this finally I can make my own giant ferrero rocher.
Happy Making Criz!
I tried to do it it was amazing you are a good cook
I cooked my shell like you said and it is not hard, the edges are but not the bottom of it. I did put it back in the oven but its still soft. It is humid here, could that be part of the reason? Could I put it in the refrigerator?
Hi Linsey, its possible that the shells were a little too wet or that that the humidity is having an impact. Ann suggests leaving the shells in a low oven for longer. Once it is done use it straight away as if you have high humidity and its left sitting out, the shells will go soft. Putting it in the fridge won’t help.
