Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Unsweetened chocolate (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Powdered erythritol
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (for coating)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and unsalted butter. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to simmer gently, but do not boil.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the finely chopped unsweetened chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Stir in the vanilla extract, powdered erythritol, and salt until fully incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
Step 4
Cover the chocolate mixture and refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours, or until thickened and firm enough to shape.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small scoop or teaspoon, portion out the chocolate mixture and roll it into balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Step 6
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat them evenly.
Step 7
Once coated, place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 20 minutes to set.
Step 8
Serve the truffles chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
