Low carb desserts and sugar-free desserts can really help you stick to your keto diet without feeling deprived. I have accepted that I need sweets sometimes, and I find it’s easier to plan to make keto sweets than fail at the last minute. I’ve been wanting to make a keto version of truffles but I wanted something fast, with very little cooking. Well, I got half of my wish. There’s not much cooking–really it was ONE MINUTE in the microwave. But it requires pre-planning because you actually need to put it in the freezer or a little bit, and then save it in the fridge. But still, it’s mainly hands-off time. At 1 gm of net carbs, it’s a great easy, delicious dessert that satisfies my sweet cravings.

What Sweets Can I Have On A Keto Diet?

Believe it or not, a low carb lifestyle doesn’t prevent you from enjoying some of your favorite sweet treats. While you can’t have the exact indulgences that you had before, you can modify them with great keto-friendly ingredients that taste just as good – if not better – than the original. This is why I decided to come up with this keto truffle recipe (and dozens of other low carb desserts you should try too!)

How To Make Perfect Keto Truffles

After a little bit of playing around, here is what I have learned:

Do not skimp on the chilling time. This can make ALL the difference between a fun experience, and a very frustrating experience as you make these keto chocolate truffles. You will need to chill twice: once after you’ve microwaved all ingredients so that the chocolate ganache can stiffen, and once after you’ve shaped it into truffles.

If your chocolate seizes or turns into a big sticky, grainy mess, don’t panic. Use 1 tablespoon of hot water at a time and stir vigorously to incorporate and melt your chocolate.

You can always turn this keto truffle recipe into a pourable ganache and ice some low carb keto cakes that I have listed such as the keto chocolate cake, the coconut almond cake or any other keto cake that you like.

I used Lily’s chocolate chips to make this but feel free to try your hand at making sugar free chocolate chips instead. You can also use unsweetened Baker’s chocolate. In that case, you will need to add 1/4-1/3 cup of erythritol to sweeten.

Keto Chocolate Truffle Variations

These sugar free chocolate truffles are absolutely delicious as the recipe is written, but some times I need a little variety to keep this low carb lifestyle exciting. Here are a few variations I’ve tried that are just as delicious with some great low carb additions. NOTE the nutrition facts listed below are for the original truffle recipe. Any additional toppings will change the totals for your chocolate truffles.
