Just 2 Ingredients in Keto Chocolate Truffles

You;ll need only 2 ingredients for the base recipe of these truffles, but you can mix in optional add-ins for extra texture and flavor.

  • Chocolate – make sure to chop the chocolate into very small pieces to melt easier when mixed with the hot cream. You can also use chopped sugar-free chocolate chips. 
  • Heavy Cream – choose full-fat heavy cream that has at least 30% fat. Half and a half or milk won’t set properly.

How To Make Keto Truffles

To make this sugar-free truffle traditional recipe, you have to make a chocolate ganache by combining melted chocolate and cream.

keto chocolate truffles step by step instructions
  1. Finely chop your chocolate bar so that it melts easier.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the cream on the stove until it strats to boil. 
  3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Stir until the mixture is smooth and thick.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Scoop out chocolate balls using a small cookie scooper and place them on a plate lined with parchment paper. 
  6. Roll the balls into cocoa powder, coconut flakes, crushed nuts, or sprinkles. Refrigerate until ready to enjoy!

Tips for Success

  • Allow the chocolate mixture enough time to chill properly before shaping them into truffles. It’s best to chill for at least 5 hours, but it’s best to refrigerate overnight.
  • Make sure to use high-quality chocolate such as Lindt, Ghirardelli, or Valhrona.
  • Use gloves when rolling as the chocolate will stick less and keeps your hands clean.
  • If your chocolate won’t melt, it means that the cream wasn’t hot enough or the chocolate pieces are too large. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir until completely melted.

Truffles Flavor Variations

  • Mint – add 1/4 tsp of pure peppermint extract.
  • Raspberry – add 1/4 tsp of raspberry extract.
  • Peanut Butter – Mix in 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter or hazelnut butter in the chocolate mixture.
  • Coconut – Roll the truffles into shredded coconut.
  • Orange – Mix orange zest into the melted chocolate before chilling.

How to Store

  • Fridge – store sugar-free truffles in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • Freezer – place leftover truffles in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months.

Wrap keto truffles and give them as gifts on special occasions such as Christmas, Valentine’s day, or birthdays. Everyone will appreciate your efforts.
