Low Carb Red Velvet Truffles (2024)

Keto Chocolate Truffles Recipe

One of the hardest parts of going low carb or keto is handling all of the dessert cravings!

I don’t mind eating low carb at mealtimes, or even skipping sugar in my beverages or snacks. But dessert… skipping dessert is just torture.

So, as a special low carb treat, I made these keto chocolate truffles that taste just like red velvet cake pops! These bite-sized chocolates hit the spot so perfectly, I only need one or two to completely satisfy my dessert cravings.

Can these keto chocolates be frozen? I just keep them in a sealed container in the fridge and indulge when needed since this recipe only makes 12-16 truffles and they last in the fridge for up to two weeks without any quality loss. However, they can be frozen – just the cocoa butter coating may crack when thawing. (You can opt to leave that off and just make the truffles without their “candy coating.”)

These would be perfect for entertaining – whether you are low carb or not, chances are one of your guests might be, so having a low carb treat on hand is a great way to ensure everyone feels treated!

For my low carb friends, these low carb red velvet truffles work out to less than 1g net carbs per truffle.
