Ingredients

Truffles

  • 9 ounces white chocolate such as Lilyā€™s Chips, 1 bag, 255g, or 255g cocoa butter and 2 tablespoons powdered monk fruit OR stevia glycerite to taste for dairy-free
  • 1/2 cup cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
  • 1/4 cup butter or butter flavored coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or rum extract, optional
  • pinch of salt

Optional Garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the cream and butter until steaming either in the microwave or in a small pot. Pour over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes, until melted then stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.
  • Refrigerate at least 2 hours, until solid enough to scoop. Roll into 24 truffles and refrigerate until set hard, another hour.
  • Melt white chocolate chips over a double boiler (or in the microwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds after about 2 minutes, heating until melted).
  • Using a fork, dip truffles one at a time into the chocolate, turning the truffle to ensure it is coated, then transfer to a parchment line baking sheet. Once all truffles are dipped, transfer remaining white chocolate to a ziplock bag. Trim a tiny corner and use to pipe thin lines across the coated truffles for decoration. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg, if desired.
