Keto Fat Bomb Truffles Recipe

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!

The 21-Day Sugar Detox Truffles Recipe


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.

Ingredients

Truffles Base Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut butter

Vanilla Pecan Flavor Truffles Ingredients

Chocolate Peppermint Truffles Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut shredded or 1/3 cup slivered almonds for topping

Almond Coconut Flavor Truffles Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut shredded for topping

Vanilla Cinnamon Flavor Truffles Ingredients (not pictured)

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! 🙂

    I made these today! I have no idea why I’m doing a 21 DSD over Valentine’s weekend (LOL) but these taste so decadent and like I’m eating a dessert! Thank you!

    Wow, those really look delicious and I’m all about my sugar. Maybe I actually could do without sugar for a while!

    I am not a truffle person, but I do love chocolate. It’s funny that my son only wanted nothing in his stockings but truffles this past Christmas.

    Those look yum, yum, yum all of the way! I used think truffles were just chocolate candy, yet I recently learned that there are different kinds of truffles such as mushrooms. ~lol~

    I thought about ordering this book, but I wasn’t for sure if it was a good idea or not since I’m transitioning from a vegetarian to a vegan diet. Does this book have very many vegan recipes?

    Ive been entertaining the idea of a sugar detox (don’t know if I can do it) and having something that seems sweet or dessert-like, may make it easier for me. Your truffles look beautiful. 🙂

    Ok – YUM!! These look soooo good! Thank you for finding all these delicious recipes and trying them out so that I can then try them! haha!

    Oh and you might try substituting your peppermint extract for peppermint essential oils. You don’t need much though! Probably a few drops to start!
