Ingredients

• ¼ cup (50 g) solid coconut oil

• ¼ cup (50 g) unsweetened almond butter

• 2—3 tbsp (12—18 g) powdered erythritol (to taste)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of fine sea salt

• Extra cocoa powder for coating

Step-by-Step Preparation (The Artful Method)

1. Melting with Charm. Combine the coconut oil, almond butter, and powdered erythritol in a double boiler (or microwave gently). Warm until the mixture becomes glossy and completely smooth. Add the vanilla extract and a delicate pinch of sea salt.

2. Adding Color. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder. Watch as the mixture transforms into a deep, elegant chocolate shade.

3. The Mystery of Cooling. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and refrigerate for 30—40 minutes, just until firm enough to scoop and shape.

4. Graceful Presentation. Using a small spoon or scoop, form perfectly petite truffle balls. Roll them in extra cocoa powder for that classic French finish.

Le Chic Kéto Signature Tip

Before serving, garnish the top of each truffle with a miniature fresh mint leaf.

For added flair, try these variations:

Coconut Smooth. Substitute the cocoa powder for the topping with finely shredded coconut (+0.5g net carbs, +1g fat per truffle). This is perfect for those who love the aroma and flavor of coconut.

Pistachio Crunch. Roll the truffles in crushed pistachios (+0.3g net carbs, +2g fat, +1g protein per truffle).

Intense Chocolate. Add 10g of 85% dark chocolate during the mixing stage (+0.3g net carbs, +1.5g fat per truffle).
