Keto Almond Joy Cream Truffles

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup coconut cream (or heavy cream for extra richness)
  • 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 whole almonds (roasted, unsalted)
  • 3.5 oz (100g) sugar-free dark chocolate (like 85% or keto chocolate chips)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions:

  1. Make the coconut mixture:
    Mix shredded coconut, coconut cream, erythritol, and vanilla extract in a bowl until well combined and sticky.
  2. Shape the truffles:
    Scoop a spoonful, flatten it slightly, place an almond in the center, and roll into a ball. Repeat for all.
  3. Freeze:
    Place the balls on a tray and freeze for 15–20 minutes so they firm up.
  4. Melt the chocolate:
    In a microwave or double boiler, melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil until smooth.
  5. Coat the truffles:
    Dip each frozen coconut ball into the melted chocolate, coat well, and place on parchment paper.
  6. Chill again:
    Refrigerate until the chocolate sets (about 10–15 minutes).

Tips:

  • You can sprinkle a little sea salt or crushed almonds on top before the chocolate sets.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
