Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- Sweetener equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar (powdered or liquid works best)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Water if needed
- 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate such as Lily’s or Chocoperfection, chopped
- 1/2 ounce cocoa butter or 1 tbsp coconut oil
Brownie Truffles:
Chocolate Coating:
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the dough comes together.
- If the dough is too crumbly to roll into balls, add water 1 tbsp at a time until it can be squeezed together.
- Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet. Freeze at least 1 hour.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, combine the chopped chocolate and the cocoa butter or coconut oil. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Drop a frozen truffle into the chocolate, tossing to coat thoroughly. Lift out with a fork and tap gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Return to the baking sheet to set. If using sprinkles to decorate, add them right away before the chocolate hardens. Repeat with remaining truffles.

Just made these with monk fruit. They are so good. Thank you for the recipe!
I would like to make these for Valentine’s Day- do you think it would work if I shaped them into hearts before freezing? Would they hold shape throughout the rest of the process?
What type of liquid sweetener…like Ezsweetz or Stevia …or could I use a product called FiberYum. It is a liquid sweetener but more the consistency of cornsyrup. I would like to know if 1/2 cup of that would be too much liquidy ingredient for this recipe.
These look luscious. I’m new at low carb for about the 6 th time and was wondering what I count as the net carbs. Is it that I deduct the fiber amounts from the carbs and that would be my final net carbs. Thank you.
Yes!
You min us the fiber and also if you are using sugar substitute you also minus that from the carb count.
I’ve wanted something just like this!…. I know what I am making tonight. THANKS!
