Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tsp Instant Espresso Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch Sea Salt
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, for rolling
  • 1 tbsp Powdered Erythritol, for rolling

Equipment

  • melon baller

Instructions
 

  • Place the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, butter, and instant espresso powder over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the espresso dissolves. Bring just to a gentle simmer, then immediately pour over the chopped chocolate.
  • Let sit for 1 minute, then stir slowly from the center outward until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
  • Mix the cocoa powder and powdered erythritol together in a shallow dish. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop teaspoon-sized portions of ganache, roll quickly into balls with your hands, then roll in the cocoa mixture to coat.
  • Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
