Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder, for coating

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ganache:

    2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sweetener, cocoa powder, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

  2. Shape the Truffles:

    3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, scoop the ganache and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Coat the Truffles:

    4. In a small bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, then roll it in the cocoa powder to coat.

  4. Chill and Serve:

    5. Place the coated truffles back on the baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store any leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips and Tricks:

  • For a richer flavor, use a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
  • If you don’t have powdered sweetener, you can blend granulated sweetener in a food processor until it becomes a fine powder.
  • To make the truffles even more decadent, you can add a teaspoon of your favorite liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Kahlua, to the ganache.
  • For a fun twist, you can sprinkle the truffles with chopped nuts, crushed peppermint, or sea salt before coating them in cocoa powder.
  • These truffles are perfect for gifting during the holidays or special occasions.
