Easy to make, no-bake Chocolate Truffles! They're smooth, creamy, and taste like chocolate cheesecake. Low carb, sugar free and gluten free.
If you are like me, you crave something sweet after dinner. I love a bite-sized, portion controlled treat that I can keep in the refrigerator for when those cravings hit.
I like to keep these delicious truffles on hand at all times and sometimes I need to hide them from family because they definitely don't last long. They're healthy, sugar free, low carb and gluten free and can be enjoyed guilt free.
These are my version of truffles, they are almost like little bite sized chocolate cheesecake balls, but that sounded weird. Chocolate truffles sounds perfect.
I am always looking for more healthy desserts and treats, especially ones that are easy to make. You will also love this Low Carb Red Velvet Cake, Sugar Free Blueberry Lemon Cake and these No Bake Pecan Cheesecake Bars! All of these would be even more delicious with my Apple Chai Latte, Chamomile Latte and my Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate!
Why You Should Make These Chocolate Truffles
What I love the most about these delicious chocolate truffles is that they are so simple to make. There is no baking required which is perfect for those hot days of summer or for holidays when you don't have any more room in the oven.
Even your kids can make these yummy treats, you just have to be able to roll a ball with your hands. Kids love to make these, especially the young ones.
At less than 100 calories and 5 net carbs per serving, you can enjoy these gluten free, sugar free truffles without any blood sugar spike.
Recipe Ingredients
- Sugar free dark chocolate - You can use sugar free chocolate or Lily's chocolate chips in these truffles.If you aren't sugar free or low carb, then you can use whatever chocolate you'd like.
- Cream cheese - I always use full fat cream cheese for the best taste and quality.
- Stevia - This is a wonderful sugar free alternative for those looking to omit sugar from their diets. I use this liquid stevia.
- Cacao powder - You can use cacao powder or even cocoa powder. I use the kind where the ingredients are only 100% cocoa powder and nothing else. I like this one.
- Walnuts - Packed with healthy fats, walnuts are one of my favorite nuts.
- Pure vanilla extract - I use pure vanilla extract which doesn’t contain any artificial flavors or additives, it’s just pure vanilla made from alcohol. I use this one.
- Coconut Flour - Coconut flour is light, naturally sugar free and low in carbs which makes it extremely versatile for low carb baking. I always use this coconut flour for my baking. I love baking with both almond and coconut flour for the perfect texture.
How To Make These Chocolate Truffles
Melt dark chocolate in the microwave for 60 seconds or on the stovetop. Combine melted chocolate with cream cheese, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia.
Then add cacao powder and coconut flour, stir until combined. Fold in chopped walnuts and mix to combine.
Refrigerate the batter for one hour to harden. Once the mixture has a stiff consistency, it is ready. Shape into ¾ to 1 inch balls, as desired.
Coat your chocolate truffles with coconut flour, ground walnuts, or cacao powder. Refrigerate for one more hour before serving.
I told you these babies were easy to make! Pretty enough to give as gifts as well.
Recipe FAQ's and Expert Tips
Typically these truffles will store beautifully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, but they can probably last longer if sealed properly. They never last that long here!
You can use sugar free white chocolate or milk chocolate. You can use various colored sprinkles, different chopped nuts, crushed candy canes for Christmas, red beetroot powder for Valentine's Day or even matcha green tea powder for St. Patrick's Day!
Yes, I have frozen them before. Make sure you place them in an airtight container and you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
