how to make Keto Brownie Truffles Recipe

Make the dough, chill it, shape the truffles, and coat them with chocolate. Work in a cool room so the truffles keep form. Use a small scoop or spoon to make even balls. For another brownie idea, see the brownie cupcakes recipe for a different presentation.

Ingredients :

  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener (or another powdered sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Water if needed
  • 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 1/2 ounce cocoa butter (or 1 tbsp coconut oil)

Directions :

Follow the steps below. Work quickly when coating so the chocolate sets smooth.

Truffles

  1. In a bowl, mix almond flour, powdered sweetener, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add melted butter and vanilla. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  3. If the dough is too dry, add a little water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it holds together.
  4. Chill the dough in the fridge for 15–20 minutes so it firms up.
  5. Scoop small amounts and roll into 1-inch balls. Place balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  6. Chill the balls again for 10 minutes to firm them before dipping.

Chocolate Coating

  1. Melt the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate and cocoa butter (or coconut oil) in a double boiler or low heat. Stir until smooth.
  2. Use a fork to dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it fully. Tap the fork gently to remove excess chocolate.
  3. Place coated truffles back on the parchment. Sprinkle a little extra cocoa or sea salt if you like.
  4. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or chill briefly to speed up setting.

how to serve Keto Brownie Truffles Recipe

Serve on a small plate or in paper liners. They make a nice dessert after dinner or a small snack with coffee. Offer napkins — they can be a little soft if left at room temperature.

how to store Keto Brownie Truffles Recipe

Keep truffles in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then move to a sealed bag. Thaw in the fridge for best texture.

tips to make Keto Brownie Truffles Recipe

variation (if any)

  • Roll truffles in shredded unsweetened coconut for a different coating.
  • Use sugar-free white chocolate for a different look.
