Ingredients you need for low carb truffles

• Sugar Free Chocolate (our favorite is Lily’s)
• Coconut cream (or heavy cream if not paleo or dairy-free)
• 1/3 cup powdered Monk Fruit
• Pure vanilla extract
• Fine sea salt

Rolling Options:

• sifted cacao powder
• finely chopped macadamia nuts, almonds, pecans
•  toasted sesame seeds
• finely shredded coconut

How to make Keto Truffles

1. CHOP THE CHOCOLATE: Finely chop chocolate and place into a large heat resistant glass bowl.
2. HEAT THE CREAM: Place the coconut cream and monk fruit into a small pot and heat over medium heat until small bubbles form around the sides of the pot and the cream is steamy, but not boiling. Whisk until monk fruit is dissolved.
3. MELT THE CHOCOLATE: Remove pot from heat and pour cream mixture over the chocolate and let sit undisturbed for 4 minutes.
4. Stir gently with a whisk until smooth and fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and salt and stir.
5. COOL: Let cool then cover and refrigerate several hours until firm or over night.
6. PREPARE THE TOPPINGS: Pour toppings out on to separate plates for rolling the truffles.
7. ROLL THE TRUFFLES: Remove the mixture from the fridge and lay out a waxed paper on your work surface. Scoop chocolate ganache from bowl with a melon baller or small cookie scoop and roll each portion of ganache into round truffles.
8. Drop into your toppings and roll to cover the entire surface and then place onto a separate plate. Repeat until all truffles are complete.
9. Store in airtight container in the fridge prior up to 4 days.

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES: 

• Since there are so few ingredients to make easy keto truffles – be sure to use high-quality tasting chocolate and cacao powder
• Use a melon baller or a small cookie scoop for even-sized truffles
• Low Carb Sweeteners: If you can’t find powdered monk fruit – you can also substitute for confectioner’s Swerve or erythritol
• Toppings: you can leave the truffles naked or roll them in cacao powder, sesame seeds, chopped nuts or shredded coconut
