Equipment
- Electric Mixer
- Cookie Sheet
- Food Processor optional, for crumbling
- Microwave-safe Bowl
Ingredients
Truffle Base Ingredients
- 2 Large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Butter 1 stick, softened
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 12 drops Liquid Stevia
- 0.5 cup Swerve or your preferred sweetener
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 tbsp Almond Flour
- 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
- 0.25 tsp Sea Salt
Truffle Mixture
- 8 oz Cream Cheese 1 block, softened
Chocolate Coating
- 12 oz Lily's Sugar Free Chocolate Chips 1 bag
- 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
- Sugar-Free Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and your chosen sweetener until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold in the unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix until a soft, uniform cookie dough forms.
- Spread the dough evenly onto a cookie sheet, aiming for about ½ inch thick. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cookie is set and starts to feel firm.
- Let the baked cookie cool completely. Once it's fully cooled, crumble it finely using your hands or a food processor.
- In a separate bowl, combine the crumbled cookie mixture with the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated and the mixture is easy to handle.
- Roll the mixture into small, individual truffle balls, about 1 ½ inches each. Place them neatly on a clean cookie sheet.
- Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 15 minutes to help them firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Return them to the cookie sheet. If desired, add sugar-free sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the truffles again until the chocolate coating is firm and set. Enjoy your delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make treats!
