Here’s what you’ll need to make these decadent truffles:
- 1 cup creamy, natural peanut butter (look for one without added sugar)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, almond flour, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a thick, moldable dough forms. Using a tablespoon or small scoop, form the dough into balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each session, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Step 3: Coat the Truffles
Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffle back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 4: Chill and Set
Refrigerate the coated truffles for another 20-30 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Once set, transfer the truffles to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Tips for Success
- Choose the Right Peanut Butter: Opt for natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
- Keep it Cold: Freezing the peanut butter balls before dipping them in chocolate ensures they hold their shape.
- Experiment with Toppings: Add texture and flavor with a sprinkle of shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or even sugar-free sprinkles.
