No Bake Chocolate Ganache Cornflake Bars

This easy, no-fuss recipe combines the crunch of cornflakes and graham crackers with a layer of chocolate ganache and hazelnuts topped with flaky salt. These are perfect for any get-together or a sweet craving at home.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups corn flakes cereal
5 cinnamon graham crackers
⅓ cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
6 oz dark chocolate (70-75% cocoa)
½ teaspoon salt

For the Chocolate Ganache:

1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream
6 oz dark chocolate (preferably chocolate chips)
½ cup peeled hazelnuts

For Serving (Optional):

Flaky salt

Instructions:

1. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Place cornflakes in a large bowl and crush them into small pieces. Then, crush the graham crackers and add them to the bowl.

3. Place the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted.

4. Add the chocolate hazelnut spread and salt to the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.

5. Combine the cornflake and graham cracker mixture with the chocolate mixture, ensuring all the cornflakes are covered with chocolate.

6. Press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top gently.

7. Freeze for 10 minutes, or until fully set.

8. While the cornflake mixture is setting, prepare the chocolate ganache. Toast the peeled hazelnuts in a pan over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

9. Chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.

10. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer. Then, immediately pour it over the chopped chocolate. Whisk until smooth and combined.

11. Add the toasted hazelnuts to the ganache and mix well.

12. Pour the chocolate ganache over the set cornflake mixture.

13. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the ganache to set.
