Decadent Peanut Butter Truffles For Guilt-Free Enjoyment
I came up with these dreamy ice cream truffles because I couldn't get enough peanut butter. They give you that amazing mix of creamy peanut butter ice cream inside a dark chocolate shell. And guess what? They totally work with keto eating, so I can snack without feeling bad.
Tiny Delights With Knockout Taste
Ever since I figured out this recipe, it's been my favorite sweet snack. Each little truffle only has 3.6g net carbs but tastes super fancy. They're crazy easy to make and you can play around with different flavors whenever you want something new.
Grab These Simple Ingredients
You won't need much to make these treats happen. Get yourself a cup of heavy cream for the foundation, 1/2 cup of natural unsweetened peanut butter, 1/4 cup of granulated stevia, a bit of vanilla, and some xanthan gum to get that smooth feel. For the outside, grab a cup of sugar free dark chocolate plus 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to make everything nice and shiny.
The Easy Making Process
First, mix your cream, peanut butter, stevia, vanilla and xanthan gum in a blender until everything looks super smooth. Stick the mixture in your freezer around 4 hours till it gets firm. After it hardens, roll it into tiny balls, put them on a sheet with parchment paper, and freeze another hour. During that wait, mix your chocolate and coconut oil until they're completely smooth. Now for the best part - drop each ball into the chocolate, let extra chocolate run off, and place them back on your sheet. Chill them one more time for 30 minutes and they're all yours to eat.

Change Things Up
I sometimes use different stuff instead of peanut butter. You can try adding cocoa powder if you really love chocolate, throw in some fresh strawberries for a fruity kick, or mix mashed bananas with coconut cream when you want something that tastes like vacation. My whole family gets excited about testing new combinations.
Storage Tips
You can store these treats in your fridge for up to a week, but honestly, they usually disappear way before then. If you want to make lots at once, they can stay in the freezer for 6 months. Just make sure you put them in a container that seals tight and stick parchment paper between each layer.
Nailing That Perfect Chocolate Layer
Getting beautiful truffles means taking your time with the chocolate coating. I always let them drip completely before putting them down and use a tiny drop of melted chocolate to hide any marks from my fork. These small touches make them look like you bought them from a fancy shop.
Staying On The Keto Path
I can enjoy these treats while sticking to keto because I use natural peanut butter and chocolate without sugar. The heavy cream and peanut butter give that rich, filling feeling that makes them seem like a real treat without loading up on carbs.

Perfect For Any Occasion
I whip up these truffles for everything from midday snacks to fancy dinner gatherings. They're always gone first from any dessert spread, and nobody can believe they actually fit into a keto diet. They taste extra good when served straight from the freezer.
Add Your Personal Touch
Don't be afraid to get creative with these truffles. I often sprinkle crushed nuts on top or drizzle extra chocolate over them. Sometimes I fold in sugar free chocolate bits for more texture. You can make each batch totally different.
Quick And Easy
The thing I really love about making these is how straightforward they are. Just a handful of ingredients and a few easy steps give you a dessert that looks fancy. When it's hot outside and I don't want to use my oven, these no-bake goodies save the day.
The Perfect Balance
These truffles show you can definitely enjoy sweets while staying on your health journey. The smooth centers and rich chocolate outside completely handle my dessert cravings while keeping me on my keto path. They've become one of my go-to recipes I make all the time.
