Keto Mexican Dairy-Free Chocolate Truffles
These Keto dairy-free truffles are inspired by Mexican desserts, rich with chocolate and warming spices. The truffles are simple to prepare and just require chilling time in the fridge to set before they can be shaped. These are a deliciously indulgent sweet Keto treat, perfect if you are looking for a vegan or dairy-free option.
How to Make It
Step 1
Add the almond milk to a small saucepan. Set the saucepan over a low/medium heat and bring up to a gentle simmer. The almond milk needs to be piping hot through with small bubbles appearing on the surface, but not rapidly boiling.
Step 2
Break the chocolate into small chunks and add to a mixing bowl. Add the coconut oil and erythritol. Pour the piping hot almond milk over the chocolate and coconut oil. Stir together until both the chocolate and coconut oil have melted and everything is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Add the cinnamon, vanilla, salt and chili powder to the mixing bowl. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Please feel free to adjust the spices to suit your own personal tastes. You may taste the mixture and adjust as desired, adding more spice or sweetener if you wish. Be sure to adjust your macros to allow for any changes.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to the fridge for 4-5 hours to set, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop and shape. Once the mixture is firm, divide into 9 even portions – roughly a heaped teaspoon size – and mold each into a ball with your hands. If the truffles get too warm when being shaped, you can always return them to the fridge to firm up again.
Step 5
Add the cocoa powder to a small bowl. One at a time, gently and lightly roll each truffle in the cocoa powder. You just want a very light dusting of cocoa on each truffle. Place the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge and keep chilled until ready to eat.
