Step by Step Instructions Keto Chocolate Truffles
Below you can find the 3 steps to make these yummy keto chocolate truffles at home.
1. Make the chocolate ganache
First of all, break the 85% dark chocolate into smaller pieces.
Mix the heavy cream with the butter in a saucepan. Heat this up until the butter has melted and the heavy cream starts to boil.
Take the heavy cream off the fire and pour it over the dark chocolate. Then, add the vanilla extract. Stir this mixture, until you have a thicker chocolate ganache.
I chose to pour the mixture into 4 smaller bowls since I wanted to make 4 different keto chocolate truffles. The picture shows only one of the smaller bowls.
Either place the bowls in the freezer, until it’s a bit harder so you can roll balls with it (15 minutes), or refrigerate the ganache for about 2 hours.
Place a plate or oven bowl in the freezer. This is necessary to cool down an area, where you can later place the newly rolled truffles on.
2. Prepare the truffle coating
For these Keto Chocolate Truffles, I chose three different coatings: cacao powder, coconut rasp/flour, and shredded almonds.
Moreover, in some of the chocolate truffles, I put a filling of pecan nuts or (frozen) forest fruit (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries).
Other types of fillings can be almonds, walnuts, or keto caramel fudge.
3. Roll the Keto Chocolate Truffles and dip them in the coating
Once the ganache cooled down and became harder, we can start rolling the truffles. Then, take the plate or oven bowl from the freezer or fridge and line it with parchment paper.
For the next steps, you would need to work quite fast. The idea is to scoop up a table spoon of ganache and roll the ganache in between your hands to form a ball. Since your hands are warm, this will get messy and the longer you keep the truffles in your hands, the more it will melt.
I recommend washing your hands with cold water or cool them down in the freezer for a bit.
Roll the balls and then dip them in the cacao powder, coconut rasp, or shredded almond.
Place them on the plate / or on the parchment paper and continue to the next keto chocolate truffle.
To make them a bit more special, you can add a filling in the middle of the truffle. Here we used one pecan nut or a frozen raspberry or half a strawberry.
Ensure you cover the filling completely with the ganache. Secondly, dip the low-carb chocolate truffle in the coating of your choice. Make sure the coating covers the whole truffle.
4. Serve and eat the Keto Truffles
Place the Keto Chocolate Truffles in the fridge. You can take them out of the fridge 5 to 10 minutes before serving (depending on the weather, you do not want them to melt).
Each Keto Chocolate Truffle contains about 2.3 grams of carbs.
Enjoy…and don’t eat them all at once!
