Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
Stir in the vanilla extract, powdered erythritol, and salt until fully incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
Cover the chocolate mixture and refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours, or until thickened and firm enough to shape.
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.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat them evenly.
Once coated, place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 20 minutes to set.
Serve the truffles chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
