These rich sugar-free dark chocolate truffles are an easy homemade guilt-free treat with a silky smooth texture and intense chocolate flavor, perfect for indulgence without the sugar crash.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher), chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for rolling
  • 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit), optional
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, optional

Instructions

  1. Finely chop 8 ounces (225 grams) of dark chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl.
  2. Heat 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (small bubbles around edges, not boiling).
  3. Pour hot cream over chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes to soften.
  4. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until smooth and glossy to form ganache.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons natural sweetener, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of sea salt, and 1 tablespoon coconut oil if using. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  6. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm but pliable.
  7. Using a teaspoon or melon baller, scoop portions of ganache and roll quickly between palms to form smooth balls. Chill if ganache softens too much.
  8. Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder until fully coated and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Refrigerate truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Use slow, gentle heat to melt chocolate to avoid seizing. Chill ganache until firm but pliable for easy rolling. Dust hands with cocoa powder or chill ganache balls between rolls to avoid sticky fingers. Cover ganache tightly when chilling to prevent fridge odors. Variations include dairy-free swaps, flavor infusions, and nut coatings.
