How to Make Easy No-Bake Ferrero Rocher Desserts (Step by Step)
1. Mix the Cream Filling
- In a bowl, mix 250g mascarpone with 275g chocolate spread.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Set aside 40g of this mixture for finishing.
- Load the remaining cream into a piping bag.
Tip: Let your mascarpone and chocolate spread sit at room temp, it’ll make the mixing smooth as silk!
2. Prepare the Chocolate Mixture
- Heat 150ml milk in a pan until it just begins to boil.
- Turn off the heat and add 55g chocolate spread.
- Stir until silky and smooth.
- Cool to room temperature to avoid soggy ladyfingers.
3. Assemble the Cookies
- Grab a ladyfinger, pipe a dollop of cream on it.
- Sandwich with another ladyfinger and press gently.
- Coat the sides with the reserved cream.

- Roll those creamy edges in finely chopped, toasted hazelnuts.
That contrast between the crunch of the hazelnuts and the soft filling? Perfection.
5. Decorate Like a Pro
- Place your Ferrero-style dessert into a cupcake liner.
- Pipe a decorative swirl of cream on top using a star nozzle.
- Top with a whole hazelnut, shavings, or sprinkles.
