This low-carb mini dark chocolate lemon truffles recipe makes rich, creamy, truffles that melt in your mouth. They are so good, no one will know they are not only low-carb, but also suitable for ketogenic, diabetic, low-carb, Atkins and Banting diets.
In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat, whisking constantly.
When the cream reaches a simmer, reduce temperature to low heat. Add the dark chocolate stirring until all the chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla extract, lemon extract, and zest until evenly combined.
Transfer mixture to the fridge and let cool for 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture is thick enough to be scooped and molded.
Using a small spoon, scoop the truffle mixture into small portions and roll them into balls, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Add the cocoa powder to a small bowl. One at a time, roll the mini truffles in the cocoa powder just until lightly coated.
