Total time: 20 min active +1 hour chilling

Storage: Refrigerator: up to 1 week • Freezer: up to 1 month

Ingredients

• ¼ cup (60 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened

• 2 tbsp (30 g) butter, softened

• 3—4 tbsp (18—24 g) powdered erythritol

• 1 tbsp (5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 1—2 drops red gel food coloring

• Coating: unsweetened shredded coconut or crushed keto cookies

Step-by-Step Preparation:

1. Velvet Base. To achieve a perfect creamy texture, whip the cream cheese with the soft butter until fluffy and uniform.

2. Color Magic. Add the sweetener, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, along with the red food coloring until the mixture acquires a deep, rich red velvet shade.

3. Cooling Elegance. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 40—60 minutes to bring it to a consistency firm enough for shaping.

4. Exquisite Finish. Form neat balls and roll them in shredded coconut or keto cookie crumbs.

Le Chic Kéto Signature Tip

For added sophistication, sprinkle the truffles with fine crumbs of frozen keto-raspberries.

This will also provide a contrast in color and tartness:

Scarlet Velvet. Add one additional drop of food coloring (does not affect macros). The truffles will intensify, giving them a vibrant red hue.

Chocolate Depth. Add 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder (+0.4g net carbs, +0.3g fat per truffle). This will intensify the chocolate flavor, giving the dessert a distinctly bitter note and a deeper texture.

Natural Elegance. Omit the food coloring (does not affect macros). The truffles will have a natural creamy brown color.
