Sugar-Free Eggnog Truffles
Dec 18, 2020When the seasons start to change and the weather gets cold, the first thing I think of is eggnog! Not store-bought eggnog but fresh homemade eggnog. That fresh eggnog is what inspired this recipe.
Recipe By: MetFlex Tribe Member, Kat Browning
Prep Time: 10 mins Cool Time: 110 mins Total Time: 120 mins
Makes 20 Servings
Ingredients
For the truffle filling
- 8 ounces sugar-free white chocolate chips (such as Lily's or Choc Zero)
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon rum extract
For the coating
- 6 ounces sugar-free white chocolate chips (such as Lily's or Choc Zero)
- ½ tablespoon coconut oil
- shredded coconut or cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
- Microwave heavy cream until hot (about 1 minute).
- Measure out chocolate chips in a small bowl and add softened butter.
- Add heavy cream to chocolate and let sit for about 1 minute. Slowly begin to stir until chocolate is melted and ingredients are incorporated.
- Add nutmeg and rum extract and stir until incorporated.
- Refrigerate until firm - about 1 hour.
- Scoop filling into small portions and roll into balls. Refrigerate again until firm - about another 15-20 minutes.
- While truffles are cooling the second time, make the white chocolate coating. In a small bowl, microwave white chocolate for 30 seconds, stir in coconut oil, and then microwave another 30 seconds. Continue microwaving chocolate in 20-second intervals (stirring after each interval) until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip truffles into melted chocolate, coating well. If rolling in shredded coconut or cocoa powder, do this now before returning to the refrigerator to cool until firm.
- Serve as is or use toothpicks to create little snowmen!
