Le Chic Kéto Signature Tip

Garnish each truffle with a tiny piece of candied (or keto-candied) ginger. This will add texture and intensify the effect.

Variations with macro changes:

Spicier. +1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper (0 g macros). Add a pinch of cayenne pepper – just one-eighth of a teaspoon – to give the dish a piquant heat.

Milder. -1/4 tsp of ginger (-0.1 g net carbs per truffle). To soften the spicy flavor, exclude a quarter teaspoon of fresh ginger, reducing the carbohydrate content by 0.1 g per truffle.

Citrus Ginger. +1/4 tsp of lemon zest (+0.1 g net carbs per truffle). Brighten the flavor by adding a quarter teaspoon of fresh lemon zest. This modification adds a little more sweetness and citrus notes, increasing the carbohydrate content by only 0.1 g per serving.
