Ingredients You’ll Need

Short list. Big flavor.

• Unsweetened shredded coconut (1 cup)
  Fine or medium shred works best.
• Sugar-free dark chocolate (80–100 g)
  Go for keto-friendly chocolate sweetened with erythritol or stevia.
• Coconut cream or heavy cream (¼ cup)
  Coconut cream = stronger coconut vibe. Heavy cream = classic truffle feel.
• Powdered erythritol or monk fruit (2–3 tbsp, optional)
  Only if your chocolate isn’t sweet enough.
• Vanilla extract (½ tsp)
  Optional, but it smooths everything out.
• Pinch of salt
  Tiny amount. Big difference.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate.
   Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth and glossy.
2. Add cream to the chocolate.
   Stir gently until the mixture looks thick and shiny.
3. Mix in coconut and flavorings.
   Add shredded coconut, vanilla, salt, and sweetener if using. Stir until fully combined.
4. Chill the mixture.
   Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm enough to scoop.
5. Roll into truffles.
   Use a spoon or small scoop. Roll quickly—warm hands melt chocolate.
6. Chill again.
   Place truffles on parchment paper and refrigerate until firm.
7. Optional finishing touch.
   Roll in cocoa powder, coconut, or drizzle with melted chocolate.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using sweetened coconut.
  That’s how sugar sneaks in. Check labels carefully.
• Overheating the chocolate.
  Burnt chocolate tastes like regret.
• Skipping chill time.
  Warm mixture = sticky mess, not truffles.
• Using granulated sweetener.
  Grainy truffles are not the vibe. Powdered only.
• Over-rolling with warm hands.
  If things get melty, pause and chill again. No shame.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• Extra chocolatey version:
  Add 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Nutty upgrade:
  Mix in finely chopped almonds or hazelnuts.
• Dairy-free option:
  Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
• Flavor twist:
  Add a drop of peppermint, orange extract, or espresso powder.
• Coating ideas:
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Toasted coconut
  • Sugar-free chocolate drizzle

IMO, rolling half plain and half coated keeps things exciting.
