These lemon blueberry truffles have easily become one of of my favorite desserts, but I’ll admit, they don’t always last until dessert. In my defense, they’re a perfect guilt-free and low-carb snack to grab on the go. Plus, they actually give you energy rather than just a sugar high and the dreaded crash.

For shaping the truffles, I use a mini ice cream scoop to ensure that each truffle has a similar size and shape. A tablespoon can easily be used for this purpose as well.

If needed, you can reshape the truffles slightly after they’ve spent 10-15 minutes in they freezer. They will be more firm and easier to shape.

I hope that you enjoy this recipe!
