Indulge your chocolate cravings without the guilt with these decadent Sugar-Free Chocolate Bonbons! Crafted with rich cocoa butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, and naturally sweetened with powdered erythritol, these bite-sized treats are perfect for those following a low-sugar or keto lifestyle. A hint of vanilla and a touch of heavy cream elevate their flavor and creamy texture, while a pinch of salt balances the sweetness beautifully. Quick and easy to make, these bonbons take just 30 minutes from start to finish and require minimal equipment, thanks to the simplicity of using a silicone mold or mini cupcake pan. Perfect for gifting or enjoying as a guilt-free indulgence, these homemade delights are a chocolate loverβs dream come true.
Prepare a double boiler by filling a medium pot with a couple of inches of water and bringing it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl over the pot, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water.
Add the cocoa butter to the bowl and allow it to gently melt, stirring occasionally.
Once the cocoa butter has melted completely, sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder to prevent lumps, stirring continuously until smooth.
Add the powdered erythritol gradually while stirring until it is fully dissolved into the mixture.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the entire mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Prepare a silicone mold or a mini cupcake pan with paper liners and pour the chocolate mixture evenly into each section.
Tap the mold gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles and to ensure an even surface on the bonbons.
Allow the bonbons to cool at room temperature for a few minutes before transferring them to the refrigerator to set completely, about 1 hour.
Once set, remove the bonbons from the mold and store them in an airtight container in a cool place.
Enjoy your homemade sugar-free chocolate bonbons!
