2 Ingredient Keto Truffles
These rich and creamy chocolate truffles are low sugar, low carb and keto-friendly. They are also just 2 ingredients and easy to make. They are great for gifting.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups (555 g) sugar-free dark chocolate chips, divided (see note before starting)
- 4 fl oz (118 ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- Add 1 1/2 cups (238 g) chocolate chips to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat heavy cream in the microwave until it is hot and steaming, but not boiling. Pour over the chocolate. Gently stir with spatula until chocolate is fully melted and smooth. If you still have some chocolate not melting, you can heat the chocolate mixture in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds and then stir until fully melted.
- Place mixture into the fridge to set. This will take about 1 hour. You want the mixture firm enough so that you can scoop and roll into balls. If your filling becomes too firm you can let it sit out at room temperature until soft enough to scoop.
- Use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the filling. Roll filling between palms until you have a smooth round ball. Place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining filling, making sure the finished balls do not touch when they are placed onto the baking sheet.
- Place balls into the freezer until completely solid. This should only take about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add remaining chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and heat in 15-30 seconds, stirring in between with a spatula, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Optional step: Some people find it easier to have a smooth coating if you add a little coconut oil to thin out the chocolate. If desired, stir in melted coconut oil, 1 tsp at a time, until you have a chocolate that has a thin enough consistency for coating/dipping easily.
- Remove frozen balls from freezer. Use your favorite chocolate dipping tool to dip each ball into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover it completely. Gently shake off any extra chocolate and make sure coating is smooth and even, and carefully place the coated balls back on the parchment lined baking sheet. Try to wipe off as much of the bottom puddle of chocolate that the coated balls make when they touch the parchment paper.
- If desired, add sprinkles, salt, chocolate drizzle or any other decorations at this time. Place chocolate truffles back into the fridge until set. Store uneaten truffles in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Chocolate note: This recipe works best with sugar-free chocolate chips sweetened with Stevia or erythritol. The filling does not set with chocolate sweetened with monkfruit (like Choczero brand).
- I used Lily's dark chocolate chips (Amazon | Target | Walmart)*

- These truffles taste like dark chocolate truffles and are not super sweet. If you prefer sweeter truffles, you can coat the chocolate balls with melted sugar-free milk chocolate instead.
- The estimated nutrition assumes all of the 3.5 cups of chocolate are used but the actual nutrition is likely a little less because not all of the chocolate ends up on the truffles. If you are on a keto diet, please remember to look at net carbs and not just total carbs in the estimated nutrition. The net carbs count excludes fiber and carbs from sugar alcohols.
