MAYAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

MAYAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

Place the chopped chocolate and Swerve  in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream to just a simmer and then pour over the chocolate. Let sit 5 minutes to melt.

Step 2

Add the vanilla extract and chipotle powder and whisk until well combined and smooth. Refrigerate until firm enough to handle, about 2 to 3 hours.

Step 3

In a shallow plate, combine the cocoa powder and ground cinnamon. Roll the chilled chocolate mixture into 1 inch balls and then roll in the cocoa mixture.

Step 4
The truffles should be refrigerated but they taste best at room temperature so let them sit out for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.


 Makes 16 truffles (2 per serving).
