How to Make It
Step 1
Add the unsalted butter, powdered erythritol, cream cheese, ginger, cinnamon and orange extract to a food processor. Blend together until smooth and well combined. You may adjust the flavorings and level of sweetener to suit your own personal tastes.
Step 2
Transfer the butter mixture to a bowl. Place the bowl in the fridge to firm and set. The mixture needs to be chilled enough that it is easy to scoop and shape. This will take a few hours, but better still overnight. Once firm enough to handle, divide the mixture into 12 even portions and roll into balls. The colder your hands are the better to prevent the butter melting too much. If the mixture gets too hot while shaping, you can place the rolled buttercream truffles in the freezer to re-firm before dusting.
Step 3
Add the cocoa powder to a small bowl or tray. Take each butter truffle in turn and roll it in the cocoa powder, coating it liberally all over. Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
