Oreo Truffles
Keto “Oreo” Truffles
Ingredients
Truffles
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup Swerve Confectioners
- ⅓ cup extra dark cocoa powder (see recipe notes)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 tbsp water
Chocolate Coating
- 4 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
- ½ ounce cocoa butter or 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Sugar-free sprinkles, if desired (see recipe notes)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Swerve, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract, then stir in the water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the dough holds together.
- Scoop dough out by the rounded tablespoon and squeeze in your palm a few times to help it stick, then roll into a ball. Place on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet and repeat with remaining dough. Freeze 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.
- Set in fridge for 20 minutes or so until chocolate is set.
Recipe notes: Extra dark cocoa powder or “black” cocoa powder is what’s traditionally used in Oreo cookies and gives them their distinct flavor.
Sugar-free sprinkles do exist! Three brands are now on the market. The Sprinkle Company is available on Etsy, and both Good Dee’s and Stoka can be purchased on Amazon.
