    This low carb truffles recipe was inspired by The 21 Day Sugar Detox book. They make a great keto fat bomb and satisfy that urge for a sweet treat.

    I thought truffles were some kind of weird looking mushroom.

    I avoided them at all cost.

    Until one day I saw a recipe online that was described as a truffle and it contained chocolate and other tasty sweet things.

    Apparently truffles can also be little balls of yummy goodness.

    Just make sure you clarify if someone offers you one...

    I recently received a hot-off-the-presses copy of The 21 Day Sugar Detox Cookbook and when I saw the recipe for truffles I just had to try them. Based upon the ingredients I knew they would be great as a keto fat bomb.

    What is a fat bomb?

    A fat bomb is a small bite-sized treat for people who follow a low carb or ketogenic diet.

    • Fat bombs are high in fat
    • They are low in carbohydrates
    • They are usually made from nut butters or coconut oil
    • The goal is to help the body burn existing body fat for fuel

    The 21 Day Sugar Detox can seem like such a challenge if you are someone who loves sugar. Even those of us who don't consume that much sugar find that we struggle initially with those sweet cravings. But Diane Sanfilippo, the author of The 21 Day Sugar Detox and The 21 Day Sugar Detox Cookbook has thought of everything.

    • Cookies
    • Scones
    • Donuts
    • Truffles (the non-mushroom type)

    None of which contain any sugar at all, but help satisfy your brain for a little bit.

    Keto Fat Bomb Truffles

    Below is my version of the recipe from the book, there are actually 3 different versions that I made, you can take the base recipe and make whatever you want. I used almond butter for these but you can make them nut-free with sunflower butter and obviously limit your toppings to coconut and cinnamon.

    I was honestly shocked at how yummy these are! They actually taste sweet. It might be all in my head but who cares!

    If you are looking for coconut butter for your fat bombs, it's not the least expensive thing ever but it's worth it!

    You can find it on Amazon or Vitacost and I'm sure at your local healthy foods store. It is less expensive at Vitacost but you have to meet a minimum to get free shipping. It's worth it though because their prices generally are the lowest around.


    You can stock up on all of your 21 Day Sugar Detox Essentials and save money! They ship fairly quickly too, not as fast as Amazon 2-day but not bad.

    One 21 Day Sugar Detox recipe to make low carb keto fat bombs. 

    Ingredients
     

    Truffles Base Ingredients

    • ⅓ cup almond butter
    • ¼ cup coconut butter

    Vanilla Pecan Flavor Truffles Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ⅓ cup pecans - chopped for topping

    Chocolate Peppermint Truffles Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon cacao powder
    • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
    • ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut - shredded or ⅓ cup slivered almonds for topping

    Almond Coconut Flavor Truffles Ingredients

    • ½ teaspoon almond extract
    • ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut - shredded for topping

    Vanilla Cinnamon Flavor Truffles Ingredients (not pictured)

    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoon cinnamon for topping

    Instructions

    Truffle Base Instructions

    • Soften the base ingredients by placing glass jars in a pan of water.
    • Combine base ingredients in a small bowl until completely blended.

    Truffle Flavor Instructions

    • Blend your desired extract into the base and place in the freezer for about 5 minutes. Any longer and it gets too hard. You may not need as much time in the freezer depending upon the consistency of your base. My almond butter was very soft and took a bit longer.
    • Remove the bowl from the freezer and stir until even.
    • Taking small amounts at a time - I used about a tablespoon for each one, but you can use less - roll into balls and then dip and roll into your chosen topping (pecans, coconut or cinnamon).
    • Place each truffle onto a sheet or plate and refrigerate until ready to eat.

      Wow! Looks amazing! Kim, would you advise please what their shelf life is and if they have to be refrigerated after they are ready to eat? Just wondering if I could take them to work. Thank you! 🙂

      Those sound crazy amazing! I would love to do a sugar detox, maybe I'll try that over the summer when things have calmed down a bit around here.
