Chocolate Fat Bomb Ingredients
- Chocolate: Our keto truffles wouldn’t fit their title if they didn’t contain chocolate! To keep carbs to a minimum, opt for sugar-free chocolate with the strength of cocoa solids that fit your tastebuds. A higher cocoa percentage will result in a deeper, robust chocolate flavor, while a lower percentage has a closer taste to traditional milk chocolate.
- Pecan Nut Halves: Pecan nuts have a natural, sweet, earthy flavor that combines well with the intense chocolate notes of the truffles. Using pecan nut halves in their entirety provides a mouthwatering crunch and stunning aesthetic, with the warm-colored nuts offsetting the darkness of the sugar-free chocolate.
- Avocado Oil: The mild flavor of avocado oil is one reason we choose to use it in our truffle recipe. Once melted with the chopped chocolate, avocado oil transforms the mixture with a glossy, velvet finish. Opting for quality avocado oil means you’ll be far more likely to taste mild grassy notes instead of the bitter flavor often found with low-quality avocado oil.
- Sea Salt Flakes: Creating balance in recipes is key, and sea salt flakes are a savory savior in our fat bombs! Begin by adding a small pinch of sea salt flakes to taste, which will provide a mouthwatering salty contrast to the decadent nature of the truffles.
How To Make Chocolate Pecan Fat Bomb Truffles
Our keto chocolate pecan fat bomb truffles can be whipped up in 5 minutes and left to chill in the freezer for 60 minutes to harden and transform into individual chocolates. You don’t need any fancy kitchen equipment, just a microwave-safe bowl and molds for the truffles. Once you’ve made this recipe, feel free to get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Melt the chocolate: Chop the chocolate into smaller pieces and place it in a double-boiler over low heat. Stir the chocolate until it melts into a smooth cream. You can also melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-45 seconds, stirring the mixture until it becomes lusciously smooth.
- Add oil and salt: Add the avocado oil and pinch of sea salt flakes to the chocolate mixture, combining everything gently until you’re left with a smooth, glossy mixture.
- Pour into molds and add pecans: Pour the chocolate mixture into molds, filling them halfway and adding pieces of pecan on the top.
- Transfer to freezer: Finish with a tiny pinch of salt flakes and transfer the truffles to the freezer for a minimum of an hour. Once set, the truffles can be popped out of their molds and stored in a sealed container.
Recipe Variations
Keto Chocolate Fat Bomb Truffles with Coconut: For an uplifting coconut edge to our keto fat bomb truffles, replace the avocado oil with coconut oil, and sprinkle a layer of shredded coconut over each truffle instead of a pecan nut. Once set, you’ll be left with snow-covered truffles that make a stunning after-dinner treat for the whole family.
Keto Vanilla Chocolate Fat Bomb Truffles: As there’s no added sugar or sweetener in our recipe, the truffles have an indulgent, rich flavor that can be lightened by using a few drops of vanilla extract. Add the drops to the melted chocolate and combine the mixture so the vanilla perfumes every mouthful of chocolate truffle.
Keto Chocolate Peanut Fat Bomb Truffles: Chocolate and peanuts are a classy, delicious match that can be easily created with our decadent truffles. When filling the molds with molten chocolate, stop halfway to either add a couple of plain peanuts or a small spoonful of peanut butter. Then, continue to fill the molds with the melted chocolate, hiding the nutty surprise within.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Carbs Are In Keto Fat Bomb Truffles?
Our keto fat bomb truffles contain 1.7g of net carbs, making them an ideal addition to a keto lifestyle. By using sugar-free chocolate, carbohydrates are kept to a minimum, allowing quality ingredients and flavors to take center stage.
Can I Substitute Avocado Oil In Keto Fat Bomb Truffles?
Avocado oil works well in our recipe as it has a neutral taste, but coconut oil or similar flavorless oils can also be used. Avoid using oils such as extra virgin olive oil or sesame oil, as the strong flavors will overpower the truffles and may not work well with the chocolate and nuts.
Can Keto Fat Bomb Truffles Be Nut Free?
It’s possible to make our keto fat bomb truffles nut-free by omitting pecan halves and replacing them with sunflower seeds or similar. If you don’t have any seeds to hand or would rather not use seeds or nuts in the truffles, simply fill the molds to the top with the chocolate mixture.
