Le Chic Kéto Signature Tip

These exquisite truffles pair perfectly with a cup of fragrant herbal tea, served on a refined porcelain saucer – such a presentation will bring a sense of special atmosphere and subtle charm.

Enhance the gastronomic experience by customizing the flavors, controlling each ingredient and its impact on macros:

Tender Apple Note. Adding half a spoon of dried apple pieces (+1.5 g net carbs) will give you a refreshing fruity tartness and an airy dessert structure.

Warmth of Ceylon Cinnamon. A pinch of ground cinnamon (half a teaspoon, +0.2 g net carbs) will enrich your truffles with the warmth of Eastern spices and a cozy aroma.

Delicate Trace of Canadian Forest. One drop of natural maple extract (with no change to macro indicators) will fill the dessert with a soft, subtle flavor of maple caramel without disrupting the nutrient balance.
