Instructions

  1. Melt the dark and milk chocolate in a bain-marie, stirring until smooth.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cocoa spread with the crème fraîche and icing sugar until you have a creamy filling.
  3. Spread a thin layer of filling over one wafer and cover with a second wafer to make a sandwich.
  4. Repeat for all 12 wafers and chill for 20 minutes to firm up the filling.
  5. Dip each biscuit in the melted chocolate, then let the excess drip off over a rack.
  6. Place them on baking paper and leave to set in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts before the chocolate fully sets, if you like.

Variations and tips

White version. Replace the dark chocolate with white chocolate for a softer coating.

Using what's available. Wafers can be found in oriental grocery shops; failing that, thin wafers work very well.
