Are you on a keto diet and missing dessert? Are you just dying for some keto chocolate truffles? I have a recipe for keto truffles that is so good that you might want to try it even if you aren’t following a keto diet. Low carb chocolates that taste good? Yes indeed!
What Makes These Chocolate Truffles The Perfect Keto Snack?
- Fast. I don’t know about you, but I never have time for complicated recipes. If I can’t make something in under 30 minutes , I don’t bother. This keto truffle recipe only takes 5 minutes to make.
- Easy. This is a simple pour and cook recipe . Pour everything in a heat-safe bowl, microwave, and chill.
- Low Carb . Believe it or not, there is only 1 net carb per serving in these delicious chocolate truffles.
- Gluten Free . These sugar-free truffles are the perfect low carb dessert for anyone that has a gluten allergy.
Low carb desserts and sugar-free desserts can really help you stick to your keto diet without feeling deprived.
I have accepted that I need sweets sometimes, and I find it’s easier to plan to make keto sweets than fail at the last minute. I’ve been wanting to make a keto version of truffles but I wanted something fast, with very little cooking.
Well, I got half of my wish. There’s not much cooking–really it was ONE MINUTE in the microwave. But it requires pre-planning because you actually need to put it in the freezer or a little bit, and then save it in the fridge. But still, it’s mainly hands-off time.
At 1 gm of net carbs, it’s a great easy, delicious dessert that satisfies my sweet cravings.
What Sweets Can I Have On A Keto Diet?
Believe it or not, a low carb lifestyle doesn’t prevent you from enjoying some of your favorite sweet treats. While you can’t have the exact indulgences that you had before, you can modify them with great keto-friendly ingredients that taste just as good – if not better – than the original.
This is why I decided to come up with this keto truffle recipe (and dozens of other low carb desserts you should try too!)
How To Make Perfect Keto Truffles
After a little bit of playing around, here is what I have learned:
Do not skimp on the chilling time. This can make ALL the difference between a fun experience, and a very frustrating experience as you make these keto chocolate truffles. You will need to chill twice: once after you’ve microwaved all ingredients so that the chocolate ganache can stiffen, and once after you’ve shaped it into truffles.
If your chocolate seizes or turns into a big sticky, grainy mess, don’t panic. Use 1 tablespoon of hot water at a time and stir vigorously to incorporate and melt your chocolate.
You can always turn this keto truffle recipe into a pourable ganache and ice some low carb keto cakes that I have listed such as the keto chocolate cake, the coconut almond cake or any other keto cake that you like.
I used Lily’s chocolate chips to make this but feel free to try your hand at making sugar free chocolate chips instead. You can also use unsweetened Baker’s chocolate. In that case, you will need to add 1/4-1/3 cup of erythritol to sweeten.
Keto Chocolate Truffle Variations
These sugar free chocolate truffles are absolutely delicious as the recipe is written, but some times I need a little variety to keep this low carb lifestyle exciting.
Here are a few variations I’ve tried that are just as delicious with some great low carb additions. NOTE the nutrition facts listed below are for the original truffle recipe. Any additional toppings will change the totals for your chocolate truffles.
- Coconut Chocolate Truffles- roll your keto truffles in unsweetened coconut flakes
- Double Chocolate Truffles- sift dark chocolate cocoa over your sugar free truffles
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles- dip your truffles in PB2 or another brand of powdered peanut butter
- Chocolate Crunch Truffles- finely chop pecans or pistachios and sprinkle over the top for a delicious low carb truffle

Instant Pot Almond Flour Cake packs all of the flavors into a 3 carbs per serving cake that tastes like the real thing. Make this keto cake in your pressure cooker without heating up your kitchen, and serve an elegant slice with ease.
Why You Need To Try Almond Flour Cake
- Easy. A really simple pour and cook recipe made in your Instant Pot .
- Low Carb . Only 2 net carbs per serving.
- Delicious. The perfect amount of sweetness in a tasty little cake.
- Gluten Free . This recipe uses almond flour which is naturally gluten-free.
Why Make Cake In Your Instant Pot?
This is a recipe for an Instant Pot Keto Cake. Anyone who knows me, knows I love cake. I mean, I LOVE cake. But I’m really trying to eat low carb, and I can’t eat the real thing.
I’ve been trying and trying, and failing and failing to bake something with almond flour that’s actually worth eating. Which, by the way, is an expensive hobby, given how expensive almond flour is. I’m happy to report that I have finally managed to make a drool-worthy product that I would make and eat even if I weren’t trying to low-carb.
I baked a previous version of Keto Cake and it turned out a toasty golden brown, so I know you can definitely bake this and get a great dessert. But I made this in my pressure cooker just to try it out and the result was a beautifully moist cake. I don’t use any icing on this cake but I’m not a huge icing fan and honestly, it tastes really good by itself.
Is Almond Flour Good For Baking?
Almond flour is great for baking. It’s especially tasty in this Almond Flour Cake . It is naturally sweet and can easily be substituted for traditional flour in many recipes.
Can I Substitute Almond Flour For Regular Flour?
The natural moisture in almond flour isn’t quite the same as traditional all purpose flour. It can be a little bit moister. Generally, you can replace one part all purpose flour with one part almond flour for good results.
If you notice the batter you’re making is still a little too wet, you may need to increase the amount of almond flour slightly.
Does Almond Flour Make A Cake Moist?
Almond flour is naturally more moist than all purpose flour. However, this will not make your cake moister by using it instead of another flour alone.
The eggs in this recipe and making this Almond Flour Cake in your Instant Pot will make it very moist and decadent.
How To Make Almond Flour Cake
- Mix dry ingredients
- Pour in wet ingredients and blend. Pour into a 6-inch cake pan.
- Put a steamer rack in the Instant Pot with 2 cups of water in the liner, place foil-covered cake on trivet
- High pressure for 40 minutes, with 10 mins NPR, release remaining pressure
