Indulge in the delightful combination of citrus and dark chocolate with these Keto-friendly ganache truffles. Perfect for any occasion, especially during the holiday season, these hand-rolled truffles offer a rich and satisfying treat without compromising your Keto lifestyle. Made with 100% dark baking chocolate and infused with orange and rum extracts, these truffles are then coated in a spiced cocoa powder blend, including cinnamon and nutmeg. For those accustomed to sweeter chocolate desserts, liquid stevia is used to balance the bitterness of the dark chocolate. The recipe provides guidance on adjusting the sweetness to your preference, ensuring a pleasurable experience. While traditional semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips are not suitable for this Keto recipe due to their high sugar content, dark chocolate chips can be used as a substitute, albeit with careful consideration of the increased carbohydrate content. The recipe also shares valuable tips on working with dark chocolate, such as using a higher ratio of cream to chocolate for a richer flavor and adding flavorings to the cream before heating to prevent separation. With a 1:2 part ratio of cream to chocolate, the ganache achieves a creamy texture that holds its shape when chilled. These truffles are a guilt-free indulgence that can be enjoyed straight from the refrigerator or shared with loved ones at gatherings. - Jessica L.
