Hot and Smokey Keto Chocolate Truffles
Happy Valentine’s day, have some keto chocolate truffles!
Today I would like to share with you a truffle recipe that will be included in my fat bomb book.
These are fat bombs but also delicious truffles in their own right.
For this recipe I got inspired by the cacao concoctions of Tulum, home of the ancient Maya, who used to sometimes mix hot chilis into their chocolate.
Also being Valentine’s day in 2 days, I was hoping to dedicate them to all lovers in the world…hoping their love keeps a bit of spice even through the years.

What please is swerve ?? Stevia
Its a sweetener made with erythritol, which is a sugar alcohol.
Can I make this dairy free using coconut milk or cream?
I would say….YES! Make sure it’s thick cream though!!
This looks awesome! I will make them this week. I have long since learned that in order to stay keto, I have to have just a little sweet during the day. I am lucky that the natural sweeteners don’t knock me out of ketosis. Thanks for sharing!
Did you shape them into hearts by hand or use a mould?
I used a silicone mould Bri! 🙂
