Keto Chocolate Mint Truffles Recipe
Chocolate and Mint is one of my favourite flavour combinations. I just LOVE all things minty and chocolatey.
So, needless to say, these Chocolate Mint Truffles are one of my all time favourite sweet treats.
They are sooooo easy to make. It’s really a matter of heating cream to melt your other ingredients, allowing your chocolatey mixture to harden in the fridge and then forming them into delectable truffle balls.
You can add as little or as much peppermint essence as you want, depending on how strong you want the minty flavour to be.
Low Carb Chocolate Mint Truffles Recipe
- 1/2 Cup Cream
- 100g Chocolate (I used 90% Lindt)
- 1-2 Tablespoons Sweetener of Choice, or more to taste (I use Stevia)
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Peppermint Essence
- Pour the cream into a small saucepan.
- Bring the cream up to a simmer over low heat.
- Remove from the heat and quickly add the chocolate, sweetener, butter and peppermint essence.
- Stir quickly and gently to melt the chocolate and butter and help the sweetener dissolve.
- Taste a tiny amount to check it’s sweet and minty enough to your liking, stirring through more sweetener or peppermint essence if you think it needs it.
- Allow to cool then refrigerate for a few hours until thickened and the mixture can easily be rolled into balls.
- Once the truffles mixture has thickened, remove from the fridge and roll into balls, using a teaspoon of the mixture per ball.
- You could leave the balls as is or dip into cacao, coconut or more melted chocolate.
- Store in the fridge and enjoy!
