15-Minute Nutella and Hazelnut Turrón Bites

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Cakes and Desserts
This recipe plays on the concept of textural layering. By combining the dense, oil-rich Jijona turrón (which is essentially an almond praline) with a whipped Nutella ganache, we create a dessert that balances the grainy texture of ground almonds with the smoothness of emulsified chocolate fats. It creates a high-calorie, energy-dense confection similar to energy bites, but with a refined flavor profile.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Sharp Non-Serrated Knife: Turrón is oily and dense. A serrated knife will make a mess of the crumbs.
  • Small Palette Knife: Perfect for spreading the Nutella layer evenly.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Tree Nuts (Almonds, Hazelnuts)
⚠️ Dairy
⚠️ Soy (in Nutella)
⚠️ Eggs (common in Turrón)

Instructions

1 ✓

Slice the block of Turrón into uniform pieces. Due to the high oil content of almonds, use a sharp, non-serrated knife.

Tip: Jijona turrón is soft and oily. Freezing the block for 20 minutes prior to cutting prevents it from squashing and ensures clean edges.
2 ✓

Create a pseudo-ganache: whisk the Nutella with the heavy cream and vanilla until the mixture aerates slightly and becomes glossy.

Tip: Do not over-whisk. The fats in the Nutella can separate if agitated too much, turning the smooth cream into a grainy mess.
3 ✓

Apply a controlled layer of the hazelnut cream onto each Turrón slice.

Tip: The base is already very sweet; keep the topping layer under 3mm to maintain a balanced sugar-to-fat ratio.
4 ✓

Top immediately with chopped hazelnuts to ensure adhesion.

Tip: Roasting the nuts is chemically necessary to release their essential oils, providing a bitter counterpoint to the sugar.
5 ✓

Rest in a cool environment (65°F/18°C) to allow the fats to set.

Tip: Do not refrigerate for too long, or the turrón will sweat (release oil) when brought back to room temperature.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use hard Turrón?
No. Hard (Alicante) turrón will shatter when you try to cut it. Use soft (Jijona) variety.
Storage?
Keep in a cool place or fridge, but serve at room temp for best flavor.
Variations?
Try pistachio cream instead of Nutella.
