How to make Sugar Free Cream Cheese Truffles
- Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and use a fork to smooth it out. Then stir in the coconut flour and the unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Melt the chocolate chips according the packaging directions. I place mine in a microwave safe bowl to melt, stopping every 30 seconds to stir. Allow the melted chocolate to cool for a couple of minutes before blending it into the ingredients in the mixing bowl. Fold in the chopped nuts and the place the bowl into the refrigerator to thicken (about an hour).
- When you are ready to make the truffles, line a rimmed baking sheet (that can fit into a refrigerator) with parchment paper and prepare the coating or toppings that you plan on using. You can place dry ingredients in individual shallow bowls to make it easier to roll the truffles in.
- Use a scoop to scoop out the first truffle from the refrigerated bowl and use your hands as needed to form it into a ball. Then roll the truffle around in the dry ingredients in the shallow bowl(s) before placing it on to the prepare baking sheet.
- When all of the truffles are completed, refrigerate the truffles until set and before serving.
Tips for making the best truffles.
It is best to use cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature for this recipe.
This will make it easier to combine the cream cheese with the other ingredients.
More tips for you.
- The ingredients can become sticky while you form the truffles. Try refrigerating the ingredients for a few minutes or spraying your hands with nonstick to make it easier to form your truffles.
- Make this a boozy recipe. Simply add up to a tablespoon or so to the mixture (you may need to adjust the coconut flour).
- I am using dark chocolate in this recipe. Feel free to use any kind of chocolate that you prefer including white chocolate.
How to store truffle balls.
These truffles should be stored covered in the refirgerator.
Once they are set, you can freeze them too.
