Le Chic Kéto Signature Tip

Place the truffles on a decorative plate and add a few star anise pieces. This will not only decorate but also add a subtle, spicy aroma.

Truffle variations with macro changes:

More Citrus Notes. +1/2 tsp of lemon or orange zest. Slightly increases carbs (+0.2 g net carbs per truffle). Benefit: the freshness and brightness of the flavor will make your dessert especially appealing to citrus lovers.

More Chocolate. +5 grams of additional dark chocolate. Will result in an increase in carbs (+0.2 g net carbs) and fats (+0.7 g) per truffle. Result: increased concentration of antioxidants and improved mood thanks to the enhanced chocolate flavor.

No Cinnamon. Remove the cinnamon from the recipe. This will not affect the macros (0 g carbs, protein, fat). Suitable for those who do not like the specific taste of cinnamon or have an allergy to it.
