Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup erythritol, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and cocoa powder. Use a whisk to mix them together until they are well blended and free of lumps.
- Add the erythritol to the dry mixture and whisk again to ensure that it is evenly distributed throughout the almond flour and cocoa powder.
- In a small saucepan, gently melt the coconut oil over low heat. Be careful not to overheat it; you want it just melted, not hot.
- Once the coconut oil is melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a minute. Then, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the melted coconut oil, stirring to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until a thick dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a tiny bit of warm water, but be careful not to make it too wet.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Once all the dough is rolled into balls, you can chill the truffles in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to help them firm up.
- After chilling, your Keto Chocolate Truffles are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: When melting coconut oil, use low heat and remove from stove immediately after melting to prevent burning.
- Consistency is Key: If your truffle mixture seems too dry, add warm water sparingly – just a few drops at a time.
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerating the truffles helps them firm up and enhances their texture and flavor.
- Customization Options: Consider rolling your truffles in additional cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for extra texture.
- Storage Tip: Keep these truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, though they're so delicious they probably won't last that long!
- Make Ahead: These truffles are perfect for meal prep and can be made in advance for quick, satisfying keto-friendly desserts.
