Keto Dark Chocolate Truffles
How to Make It
Step 1
To a saucepan over medium heat, add the heavy cream and heat it until it is very hot but not scalding. Meanwhile, chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. If you buy a dark chocolate bar that is on the thinner side, it makes it easy to chop.
Step 2
Place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and pour the heavy cream over it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 3 minutes until the chocolate is melted. Unwrap the bowl and stir the chocolate using a spatula then add in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator and let the chocolate chill for about 1 hour until the mixture is firm yet smooth enough to be scooped. Scoop the chocolate using a teaspoon and roll each dollop between the palms of your hand to form round balls. Ensure to work fast since rolling can warm up the chocolate making it difficult to shape.
Step 4
Lightly coat the truffle balls in cocoa powder and roll them one last time to ensure an even shape. Line the shaped truffles on a plate or tray and transfer them to the refrigerator to allow them to firm up. Keep the truffles chilled until they are firm enough to be enjoyed.
