3 Ingredient Keto Chocolate Truffles

Pin itFollow us 148.4k

Truffles are a personal favorite of mine, growing up my family owned a restaurant and one of my jobs was to make truffles.

Bourbon, mint, orange, you name it. My husband and I also had lavender truffles as our wedding flavors. You could say I love truffles but I especially love these keto truffles. They are also some of the easiest fat bombs you can make!

With just 3 ingredients: dark chocolate, heavy cream (or coconut milk, or even unsweetened almond milk), and cocoa powder this is a great base recipe to jump off of to create your own flavors, although they’re great as is.

If you’d like to spice them up a bit I’d start by adding 1 teaspoon of a flavoring such as vanilla, maple, mint, almond, or orange extract. It's the perfect threat for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day!

Let us know in the comments how you end up flavoring your batch!

Note: The darker the chocolate, the more cream you will need. For the 90% dark chocolate, you will need up to 1 cup of cream. Instead of cacao powder for coating you can use other ingredients such as unsweetened shredded coconut, slivered almonds or hemp seeds.
