These no-bake Chocolate Cigar Cookies feature a rich, creamy milk chocolate filling encased in crispy cigar-shaped cookies, coated with melted milk chocolate and crunchy roasted hazelnuts. Perfect for a sophisticated treat with contrasting textures and delightful hazelnut flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cream Filling

  • 70 ml heavy cream
  • 150 g milk chocolate, chopped

Coating

  • 250 g milk chocolate
  • 15 g roasted hazelnuts, chopped

Cookies

  • Cigar cookies (quantity as needed, approximately 12-15 pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Cream Filling: Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan just until it reaches slightly below boiling point. Remove from heat and add the chopped 150 g of milk chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
  2. Fill the Cigar Cookies: Pour the chocolate cream filling into a piping bag. Carefully take the cigar cookies out of their package and pipe the chocolate filling into each cookie until fully filled, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
  3. Repeat Filling: Continue filling all remaining cigar cookies with the chocolate cream using the piping bag until all cookies are filled.
  4. Melt the Coating Chocolate: Melt the remaining 250 g of milk chocolate using a bain-marie (double boiler) method, stirring gently until completely smooth and melted.
  5. Prepare Hazelnut Chocolate Coating: Transfer the melted milk chocolate to a bowl and fold in the chopped roasted hazelnuts evenly.
  6. Coat the Filled Cookies: Dip each filled cigar cookie fully into the hazelnut chocolate coating, ensuring they are entirely covered. Allow excess coating to drip off.
  7. Set the Coating: Place the coated cookies on parchment paper and let the chocolate set either at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until firm.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve the cookies and enjoy the delightful contrast of a crispy exterior with the creamy milk chocolate filling enhanced by crunchy hazelnuts.

Notes

  • Use good quality milk chocolate for a richer flavor and smoother texture.
  • Ensure the hazelnuts are finely chopped and roasted to enhance their flavor in the coating.
  • The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • If filling the cookies is difficult, warm the filling slightly to keep it pliable but not hot.
  • This recipe is perfect for an elegant no-bake dessert or party treat.
