Ingredients

• 5 tbsp (70 g) ghee or butter

Step-by-Step Preparation:

1. Caramel Base. Melt the Ghee butter with erythritol over low heat until a golden caramel hue is achieved.

Le Chic Kéto Signature Tip

Make a small indentation in the center of each truffle and fill it with a thick keto-chocolate sauce (sugar-free). This will provide an haute couture effect!

Variations with macro changes:

More Salt. +1 crystal of Fleur de Sel salt (0 g macros). Emphasize the flavor of your truffles by adding a unique crystal of French sea salt Fleur de Sel.

More Nuts. +5 g pecans in the batter (+0.1 g net carbs, +0.5 g fat per truffle). Improve the texture and enrich the taste by incorporating five grams of crushed pecans directly into the mixture. Each truffle will receive an extra dose of healthy fats with a minimal increase in carbohydrate content.

No Gum. Remove xanthan gum (softer texture, -0.5 g net carbs per truffle). Decided to make the texture of your dessert a little softer? Simply by eliminating the use of xanthan gum, you slightly reduce the carbohydrate content per truffle.
