i might be so late with this but i just tried nutella lastnight for the 1st time and i knew i tasted it before and after thinking for a few secs i remember, it tastes exactly like the chocolate in the middle of a rocher. I'm so happy with my discovery because we love rocher, my waistline doesnt but i do. No i want to know how to make one of these. I know its not simple but anyone have any ideas?
do you think its simple to make the wafers? if the wafers can be made the i could probably make 2 1/2 circles then fill each with nutella & a hazelnut in the middle and then try to seal them together and dip in chocolate and then roll in chopped hazelnuts. I'm sure its not as easy as this. any suggestions?
Here are some recipes I have saved.(A pizzelle iron is like a flat waffle iron, you also can make them on a cast iron frying pan.) I hope this give you an idea:
------
Pizzelles
2 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup margarine or butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
Stir together flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and cardamom. In a small
mixer
bowl beat on high speed about 4 minutes or until thick and lemon colored.
With mixer on medium speed, gradually beat in sugar. Beat in cooled
margarine or butter, and vanilla. Add flour mixture; beat on low speed
until combined. Heat pizzelle iron according to manufacturer's
directions.
Place slightly rounded tablespoon of batter slightly off-center towards
theback of grid. Close lid. Bake according to manufacturer's directions.
Turn out wafer onto a paper towel to cool. Repeat with remaining batter.
Makes 18. (32 pizzelles; 30 per lb, trimmed) Input: 12/18/91

Italian Pizzelle Using Anise
3 cup sugar
3 1/2 cup eggs
2 1/4 melted shortening
1 (use a combination of butter
1 margarine, and crisco)
5 tablespoon grated orange peel
3 tablespoon grated lemon peel
3 teaspoon orange extract
2 teaspoon lemon extract
1 cup artificial vanilla extract
1 teaspoon anise oil or
1 bottle anise extract
1 (not as strong flavor
1 as the oil)
7 8 cups flour
You need a pizzelle iron to make the cookies. These can be found at
Safeway or any good Deli or specialty food or cooking store. They are
about $50.
Whip the eggs until very frothy. Add the sugar and cream well. Add the
melted shortening--be sure it is not hot--and cream well. Add the
flavorings and mix well. I use anise oil because the flavor is more intense--use just a little
more if you really like a strong anise flavor.
Measure half the flour in a very large bowl--8 qt. size or better--add
the
egg mixture and mix together with a heavy wooden spoon--or any large
spoon.
Add the remaining half of the flour one cup at a time and mix well. You
have added enough flour when the mixture "glomps" off the spoon and is
still a little runny--not real thick. Usually 7 cups of flour is
adequate--depends on the weather (really!).
Heat up the iron for a few minutes then make the cookies by placing 1
full
teaspoon full of the dough in the center of each form. Press closed
tightly and cook for about 1 minute. Immediately move the cookie to wax
paper to cool. The cookies are very soft at this point and will take the
shape of any bumps in the wax paper--so make it smooth. This recipe makes
about 14 -20 dozen cookies depending on the size you make them. It can be
cut in half easily without losing any flavor. When the cookies are
thoroughly cool--crisp--stack them and leave them in the open--do not
cover
they will become very soft and unappetizing. If you can, do not eat them
for about 3 days to a week. The flavor of the anise improves with a few
days age.
Enjoy. Diane M. Ferrell

Rediculous!

hey debbie.......I found a vegan recipe for them.....wonder if they're any good though !
KHalstead not sure about the vegan one there but people on the site said it was yummy. oh and i never really thought of the wafer part of the rocher to be like RK, not sure though.
i dont have a Pizzelles iron or a cast iron frying pan, i have a cast iron grill pan and can i say out loud that i hate the damn thing! Hope i dont get yelled at for that 1 i know many people love their cast iron.
7yyrt whats a Pizzelles like, do you know? Is it like the wafer like circle of the rocher? Thank you for the recipes by the way.
Have you ever had one of those wafer cookies that are layers of frosting and wafers? They come in chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and lemon.
The pizzelles are like that, all airy and crisp, sort of like an ice cream cone. In England they used to be reserved for Henry the 8th. He had one man who just made those all the time.
if you want to make pizelles and you don't have the iron, use a waffle maker.
7yyrt thanks for the explanation, i have had those before, yummy. I think that will definately work for the wafer in the rocher, any idea how to make it into the 1/2 rounds?
cakeatopia gee i dont have a waffle maker either, think it will work in a regular frying pan?
ShirleyW i thought the coating was chocolate with chopped hazelnuts, might be wrong though. I dont have one in the house right now to double check.

daltonam i'm in fl also so when can i pick up that cast iron frying pan?? Just kidding. Is it as bad to clean as the grill pan? I used my grill pan about 3 times and i gave up, the damn thing is really heavy and a you know what to clean. Oh and if i had known about he seasoning i would have said forget it but i did get it for free so..
