Peace, family!

Just a quick dispatch from my Texas kitchen to let you know that delicious truffles can be quick, easy, and keto-friendly! The hardest thing about this recipe is patiently waiting for it to chill in your ‘fridge while you daydream about how good it will taste. This will certainly kill your chocolate craving right where it stands. The best part, is that once your truffles have cooled/set, you can coat them in anything under sun. This is highly-customizable and the possibilities are endless. I chose unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped walnuts. I can’t wait to see the creations that you come up with.

This recipe is great any time you get a mean chocolate craving, but can also be used for occasions such as Valentine’s Day. Dress these bad boys up in a nice box and give them to your gym bae who won’t stop counting their macros. You know the type. Ha!

What Ingredients Will I Need for the Chocolate Truffles?

• Lily’s Creamy Milk Chocolate Bar – You’ll need about 4 ounces for this recipe. Lily’s sells their chocolate bars in 3 ounce packages, which means you’ll need two – one bar and part of another. The chocolate will be roughly chopped as shown below.

• Heavy Cream – you will melt the chocolate in heavy cream
• Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Replacement -The ingredients in Swerve do not affect blood sugar, so the carbohydrates it contains are considered non-impact. This recipe is searchable in MyFitnessPal as AGirlCalledAdri’s Keto Chocolate Truffles.
• Vanilla Extract – just a tiny bit, for flavor.
• Salt – a pinch of salt will bring all of the flavors to life.

How Long Does this Recipe Take to Make?

The chocolate mixture is very fast and easy to make. It only takes about 7 minutes total; ten if you include the minimal prep work. The majority of your time will be spent waiting for the truffles to chill in the refrigerator, about 3 hours.

Do I Need a Mold?

Not at all. the first few times I made these truffles, I didn’t use a mold at all. See my alternative method for shaping these truffles below. Or jump there now.

Storing Suggestion

These truffles can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. My suggestions is to freeze the ones you don’t eat, and then pop one or two out whenever the craving hits you.

How to Make Easy Keto Chocolate Truffles

Start by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. You want the cream to heat up without boiling.

Next, you’ll add your chopped chocolate, vanilla extract, salt, and Swerve sweetener (or your sweetener of choice).

Stir the ingredients with a whisk or spoon over low heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until a creamy smooth, evenly colored mixture forms. If you still see some white from the heavy cream, continue to stir/melt the chocolate.

Pour the chocolate into a candy or truffle mold (12 even pieces) and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until solid.

Alternative Method – No Mold Needed

Pour the chocolate into a small baking dish and refrigerate for at least and hour. After an hour the chocolate should be at least semi-solid. At this point you should be able to scoop portions of the chocolate out of the pan and use your palms to roll the portions into 12 even spheres. You will then place the truffles back into the refrigerator and allow to chill for an additional two hours.

Coating Suggestions

The best part about these truffles is how customizable they are. You can coat them in anything you love, but here are a few of my favorites:

• Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
• Sugar-Free Sprinkles
• Coarse Sea Salt
• Chopped Nuts

As usual, try it out and let me know what you think! When you make these truffles, snap a pic and tag me on Instagram so that I can show off how dope you are. While you’re there, join the family. I’d love to have you!

Peace,

Adri
