Equipment

Medium mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
Parchment paper
Tray or plate
Fork
Double boiler setup (heatproof bowl and pot)

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter (unsweetened) (240g)
¼ cup powdered erythritol (48g)
1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
¼ cup coconut flour (30g)
½ cup dark chocolate chips, sugar-free (90g)
1 tbsp coconut oil (15ml)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the coconut flour to the mixture, stirring until a dough-like consistency is formed. If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more coconut flour until it's easy to handle.
Using your hands, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
Place the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the truffles.
While the truffles are chilling, create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to the bowl, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the truffles from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
Place the chocolate-coated truffles back on the parchment paper and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is set.
Once set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Ensure that the peanut butter and chocolate chips used are sugar-free to keep this recipe keto-friendly.

You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor profile.

If you don't have erythritol, other keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit can be used, but adjust the quantity to taste as their sweetness level varies.

These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for a longer shelf life.
