Keto Mexican Dairy-Free Chocolate Truffles

These Keto dairy-free truffles are inspired by Mexican desserts, rich with chocolate and warming spices. The truffles are simple to prepare and just require chilling time in the fridge to set before they can be shaped. These are a deliciously indulgent sweet Keto treat, perfect if you are looking for a vegan or dairy-free option.

Is Chocolate Keto?

Typical store-bought chocolate is very often not Keto friendly. Chocolate bars are often loaded with refined sugars and other fillers that make them unsuitable for a low carb diet. However, dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa solids can be included as part of a Keto diet, when eaten in moderation. It is important to ensure that the chocolate is a minimum of 70% cocoa solids - but higher is even better! Combining rich dark chocolate with low carb sweetener and Keto compliant fats is a great way to get your chocolate fix without straying off-plan.

Hints and Tips

As mentioned, it is crucial to choose a dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa. You could also use unsweetened dark chocolate chips. We have used almond milk but you could swap this for another Keto compliant plant based milk if preferred. We have also chosen to use erythritol to sweeten the truffles. You may wish to swap this for your preferred low carb sweetener or adjust the quantities to taste. Be sure to adjust your macros for any changes made.
