General Information

Truffles have a long, delicious history dating back to France in the late 1800s. Traditionally made with heavy cream and chocolate, my version is a lightened-up, plant-based twist that still delivers indulgence without the sugar overload.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use coconut flour instead of cocoa?
Not recommended—it will dry out the mixture. Stick with cocoa.

2. Are these keto-friendly?
Yes! They’re very low in carbs, especially when made with sugar-free chocolate.

3. Can I make them ahead for a party?
Absolutely—make them 2–3 days ahead and keep them in the fridge.

4. What’s the best chocolate to use?
Any good-quality sugar-free chocolate works (I love stevia-sweetened bars).
