1. Making the frosting. Beat the softened butter until fluffy and creamy. Add the erythritol and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fluffy.

Le Chic Kéto Signature Tip

For variety, try these variations:

Coconut tenderness. Add 10 g shredded coconut to the batter (+0.7 g net carbs, +3 g fat per truffle). This approach will enrich each bite with an additional 0.7 grams of net carbs and increase the fat content by a whopping 3 grams.

Creamy Richness. Make your truffles even more delicious and rich by adding 5 grams of butter (+4 grams of fat per truffle). Add 5 grams of butter directly to the mixture.

Lactose-Free Version. Substitute the cheese with 30 grams of coconut oil (+0.5 grams of net carbs, -0.6 grams of protein per truffle). This culinary experiment will result in a slight increase in carbs and a decrease in protein per bite.
