Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 g) heavy whipping cream or coconut cream
- 3/4 cup (64 g) unsweetened grated coconut, plus extra for rolling
- 1/2 cup (60 g) coconut flour
- 3 scoops (90 g) unflavored whey protein
Sweetening and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (96 g) powdered sweetener
- 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
Flavoring Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Pulse the heavy whipping cream, melted butter, whey protein, powdered sweetener, coconut flour, grated coconut, and vanilla extract in a food processor until a cohesive, compact mixture forms.
- Use a digital scale or precise measuring tool to create uniform portions, dividing the dough into 16 equal segments.
- Gently shape each segment between your palms, applying light pressure to form smooth, perfectly rounded spheres.
- Transfer the shredded coconut to a shallow dish and delicately roll each truffle, ensuring complete and even coverage of the exterior.
- Place the coconut-coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray, creating a single layer without touching each other.
- Refrigerate the truffles for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and enhance their flavor profile.
- Prior to serving, let the truffles rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly, which will optimize their creamy texture.
Notes
- Precision matters when measuring ingredients, especially coconut flour, as it can quickly absorb moisture and change the texture.
- For a smoother consistency, ensure butter is completely melted and at room temperature before mixing with other ingredients.
- Experiment with different sugar-free sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit to find your preferred taste profile without compromising the keto-friendly nature.
- If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before rolling to make handling easier and creating perfectly shaped truffles.
