A velvety, rich Chocolate Truffles Recipe - ready in two minutes or less!

While this recipe may not be a “true” truffle recipe, the texture is surprisingly the same. (But without the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and all the bother of tempering the chocolate.)

This recipe is a Trim Healthy Mama S Fuel, but is also low carb, keto friendly, gluten free, sugar free, and dairy free!(It also appears in the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook, published by Trim Healthy Mama!)

Who doesn't love a good chocolate recipe?

I’ve heard it said that women cannot live without chocolate. Could a woman live without chocolate? Yes, I'm sure she could, but why would she want to?

The good news is that as a Trim Healthy Mama, you don't have to live without chocolate! There are so many chocolate recipes available.

A few of my favorites are 2 Ingredient Fudge, Chocolate Cupcakes with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting, and Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake.

If you do not like to cook or bake, there are even chocolate options available for purchase. Trim Healthy Mama now has their own chocolate bars (available in Milk or Dark), and they sell Sugar Free Chocolate Chips, too!

The Chocolate Chips are amazing - I’ve had to portion mine out so I don’t fly through them! And both the Milk and Dark Chocolate bars are delicious - even my kids love them.

Another on-plan option is Lily’s Chocolate. You can find these in a lot of natural foods stores, or you can order them online. My favorite bar is the Salted Almond Milk Chocolate Bar.

I am often asked where is the best place to buy Lily’s Chocolate. Lucky Vitamin has the best price that I have found - $5.16 for a bag (and sometimes cheaper, when they run a sale).

I will confess right now that I have a sweet tooth, so I am constantly looking for a dessert that is easy and FAST!

This recipe definitely falls into the fast category. It should take you about two minutes to whip everything together!

And while you’re at it, you may want to make a double or triple batch to keep in your refrigerator!

Using Peanut Flour

Now, I mentioned at the beginning of this post that this recipe may not qualify as a “true” truffles recipe. That is because true truffles rely on a mixture of bittersweet chocolate and heavy cream.

These truffles use neither of those (though you can add some sugar free chocolate chips if you want). The secret ingredient in these delicious little chocolate truffles is . . . peanut flour!

Peanut Flour is one of my new best friends! (One of my favorite recipes using peanut flour is this Fuel Pull Chocolate Peanut Butter.)

Peanut flour and cocoa powder are what give these truffles their velvety consistency - they are the perfect texture.

This recipe is so simple to make - not counting vanilla and salt, this recipe has exactly 5 ingredients.

And did I mention that is is dairy free?

Although this recipe only makes a small amount (about 2 truffles), they are so rich that you probably couldn't eat more than that. (Or maybe I underestimate your chocolate-eating ability!)

These 2 Minute Truffles are delicious and include a whole tablespoon of coconut oil. What a fun way to get in your daily dose!

Normally, I make these chocolate truffles with refined coconut oil, so there is not coconut flavor. But occasionally I use the extra virgin coconut oil - the combination of coconut, chocolate, and peanut butter is surprisingly delicious! (You should try it!)

You certainly don't have to shape them into truffles to eat them. I usually eat mine straight out of the bowl with a spoon.

No judgement from me if you just stick your face in the dish and start licking. (You may want to consider using a spoon if there are other people nearby. But hey, if you are by yourself, go for it!)

These are simple enough that even your children could mix them up.

Or, if you like to plan ahead, mix up the dry ingredients and store them in little Ziploc bags. Then all you have to do is add the water and coconut oil!

The sugar free chocolate chips are completely optional, so if you do not have them, no problem! The truffles will still be velvety rich even without the chocolate chips.

If you want to be extra fancy, you could roll the truffles in granulated erythritol, unsweetened finely shredded toasted coconut, or even finely chopped nuts.

Ingredients for 2 Minute Chocolate Truffles

2 Tablespoons Peanut Flour

½ Tablespoon Gentle Sweet

½ Tablespoon Cocoa Powder

½ Tablespoon Lily's Chocolate Chips, optional

Dash of Vanilla

Dash of Salt

1 Tablespoon Refined Coconut Oil(Refined has no coconut flavor)

1 Teaspoon Water

I used a small cookie scoop to make mine into cute truffles, but feel free to eat it with a spoon. (It tastes like rich frosting!)

If desired, you can roll the truffles in granulated erythritol, unsweetened coconut, or chopped nuts.

  The peanut flour is what gives the flavor and texture in this recipe. I couldn't guarantee the results with any other flour. You could use the JIF peanut powder in these - it is found at most Wal-Marts! 🙂

  I made these yesterday for the first time. It doesn't say whether to melt or soften the coconut oil, so I tried with it in the solid form and ended up having to microwave my mixture a bit to be able to roll it into balls. I think I might try to make a quadruple batch today. Question- could I use mct oil in place of part or all of the coconut oil?

Any way to make them just peanut butter truffles without the cocoa. I use better body foods peanut butter powder. But *gasp* my husband doesn't like chocolate stuff. So I doubt he would eat them with the cocoa powder.
Thx

  I think you could just use more peanut flour in place of the cocoa powder. That would keep the volume of dry ingredients the same, and you'd have tasty peanut truffles. I wonder if that would scratch the tiger butter itch.

My daughter and I just made these. I changed the recipe just a bit by using butter since I did not have any refined coconut oil. I had cooking coconut oil on hand and could smell the coconut flavor.
They were a little bitter. We may have put too much unsweetened chocolate powder.
We made little bitty truffles, 10 to be exact. 🙂

    That is good to know because I have this super duper sized container of refined cooking coconut oil from Sam's that I really need to use.

I'm so thankful to have discovered this sweet little recipe. Since I don't like the artificial (even THM) sweeteners but love the taste of cocoa, I've found this recipe to be great using 1/2 the amount of Gentle Sweet. Echoing those who use unrefined coconut oil (delicious). Also, tonight I used real peanut butter and it was amazing. I'm assuming that it changes the nutritional content quite a bit, but so great. Thank you for making this recipe. It really helps when I'm about to eat something terrible for myself at 10pm!

FAQs

What is the difference between chocolate truffles and regular truffles? ›

However, unlike regular chocolate-coated candies, chocolate truffles change the chocolate's composition by melding it with heavy cream. Blending chocolate with boiling cream results in a rich, thick mixture known as ganache, which is similar to velvety icing but not as spreadable.

How long will homemade chocolate truffles last? ›

Homemade truffles can last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator and for up to 6 months in the freezer. For the best texture and flavor, bring them to room temperature before serving. Even if you're planning on gifting your chocolate truffles, be sure to store them in the fridge or freezer.

Discover More Details ›

What makes chocolate truffles so good? ›

Lastly, they are often filled with a creamy ganache or liqueur, making them even more decadent and irresistible. Chocolate truffles are simply divine. From the indulgent chocolate filling to the crunchy chocolate coating, they offer an extraordinary experience for both your taste buds and your sense of satisfaction.

What kind of chocolate is best for truffles? ›

Chocolate chips are great for recipes like chocolate chip cookies where we want the chips to stay mostly intact, but here want to reach for quality chocolate bars which are sold as 4 ounce bars in the baking aisle. Use milk chocolate for sweeter truffles or semi-sweet/dark chocolate for extra rich truffles.

View Details ›

Why are chocolate truffles so expensive? ›

The reason behind such high costs is the scarcity of the produce, truffles are seasonal, extremely difficult to grow, and take many years to cultivate. They also have a short shelf life. Truffles require a very specific climate to grow and require lots of oak trees, that's why they're often found in woodland.

What's in the middle of a chocolate truffle? ›

A truffle is a rich chocolate candy. The inside of a chocolate truffle consists of melted chocolate, butter, cream, nuts and different flavorings such as spirits or liqueurs, vanilla, coffee, and spices.
