Ingredients

• 150 grams Unsweetened dark chocolate (85% or higher)
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (for coating)
• 50 grams Optional: Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or freeze-dried berries (for additional coating options)

Directions

Step 1

Chop the unsweetened dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and unsalted butter. Heat the mixture over low-medium heat until it just starts to simmer, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 3

Remove the cream and butter mixture from the heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the chocolate.

Step 4

Using a whisk or spatula, gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 5

Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, stirring well to ensure everything is fully incorporated.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop but still pliable.

Step 7

Once the chocolate mixture has set, prepare a baking tray or plate by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 8

Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. Work quickly to prevent the mixture from melting in your hands.

Step 9

Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder to coat evenly. Alternatively, you can coat the truffles in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or freeze-dried berries if desired.

Step 10

Place the finished truffles on the prepared tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to fully set.

Step 11

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
