Preparation method
- Roast the hazelnuts at 150°C until golden brown.

- Fold the nuts into the sugar and add a tiny amount of butter to stop them from sticking.
- Pour out the mixture onto a silicon sheet and separate the nuts.
- Leave the nuts to cool.
- Melt the white chocolate to 40°C and then add the blueberry purée.
- Add the powdered milk and freeze-dried blueberry powder and mix thoroughly.
- Transfer the warm mixture to a piping bag and place in an oven at 35°C.
- Place the nuts in a cold round bowl and add some of the coating.
- Fold it in so that the chocolate mixture sticks to the nuts.
- Repeat until you have used up all of the mixture.
- Take the nuts out of the bowl and then use a hot air gun to remove the last remnants of chocolate from the bowl. Add to the nuts as well.
