Ingredients
  

  • 4.5 ounces dark chocolate Bakers chocolate or 85% dark
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (or one of each!)
  • 2 tablespoons Swerve confectioners + 1/4 tsp maple extract or 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • seeds from half a vanilla bean or 1/4 tsp extract
  • small pinch of Himalayan salt optional
  • cocoa powder about 1 tbsp
  • matcha powder about 1 tsp
  • sugar free white chocolate chips optional, or if not counting carbs just use 1 bag of white chocolate chips + 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil melted and mixed

Instructions
 

  • Melt chocolate in a double boiler (or heatproof bowl set over pan of water)
  • Add vanilla bean seeds or extract to cream
  • Add heavy cream with vanilla to chocolate while over low heat, stir well until completely mixed
  • Chill in fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour, but check it because it can get hard fast
  • Once it is firm enough to form into shapes, roll in 12-15 balls
  • Drop into a bowl of sifted cocoa powder (about 1/2 - 1  tablespoon) or dust with cocoa in a mesh strainer (optionally, you can use white chocolate as a coating. Put the truffles in the freezer while you melt white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil then coat the truffles, keep the truffles chilled so that the dark chocolate doesn't melt into the white chocolate)
  • Sprinkle lightly with matcha for both the cocoa and the white chocolate options.
