Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsweetened dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Chop the unsweetened dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and erythritol. Stir occasionally until the mixture is warm and the sweetener has fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the cream mixture over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to soften.
Gently stir the mixture with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. If the chocolate does not melt completely, you can place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir until smooth.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Once the mixture is firm, scoop small amounts of the ganache, roughly the size of a tablespoon, and roll them into balls using the palms of your hands.
Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until fully coated.
For an optional touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each truffle for enhanced flavor.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
