Le Chic Kéto Signature Tip

Serve these truffles with a thin, crispy slice of dried lemon – this touch will highlight your appreciation for elegant details.

Transform the recipe into your own with variations:

– More Citrus. Add 1/2 tsp of lemon zest. Result: +0.2 g net carbs per truffle. Ensures a bright aroma and a fresh, awakening taste.

– No Acidity. Exclude the lemon juice (—1.5 g net carbs, —2 kcal). Result: a soft and neutral profile, without the citrus sharpness.

– Orange Accent. Replace the lemon with orange zest (+0.5 g net carbs per truffle). This will add warm, sweet notes with a light floral tenderness to the truffles.
