Fudgy on the inside; crispy on the outside! A deep dish brownie/cookie full of crushed hazelnuts, stuffed with melted Nutella, hazelnut wafers and whole hazelnuts to recreate the Ferrero Rocher flavours.
Preheat oven to 175℃ | 350℉. Lightly grease a 9" cast iron skillet (or pie dish) with butter/oil, wipe over excess and set aside.
Combine the butter and chocolate in your cast iron pan/skillet, and melt over low heat. Allow to cool slightly and pour the mixture into a heat proof bowl. Add the sugar and whisk until light and creamy. Add the eggs - one at a time - whisking between each egg, until combined.
Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt, mixing with a wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the crushed hazelnuts; pour 1/2 the cookie dough into the prepared pan.
Melt the nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds OR in a heat-proof dish over a pot of boiling water until it reaches a thinner consistency.
Pour the nutella over the cookie dough in the skillet evenly to 1-inch of the edges. Sprinkle the wafers and whole hazelnuts over the dough. Top with remaining cookie dough, smoothing the layer with the back of a metal spoon.
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes (for a gooey cookie). Or for a set cookie, leave it in the oven for 10 minutes longer. Cool for about 10 minutes. Top with (optional) extra rushed hazelnuts and Ferrero Rochers.
Notes
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for a little extra indulgence.
