Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter 200g
  • ½ cup almond flour 50-75g or more, depending on the thickness of your almond butter
  • 8 drops stevia equivalent to 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoon sugar free syrup
  • optional: 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2.3 oz sugar free chocolate 70g, alternatively chocolate with 90% cocoa solids or unsweetened chocolate, see notes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend the almond butter with the sweeteners and 50g (½ cup) almond flour. Check consistency. If your almond butter is quite runny, as was mine, add another 25g (¼ cup). You are looking for a dough-like consistency that can be easily rolled into balls without being squishy or falling apart.
  2. Roll into balls weighing around 10-12g. I got 25 from my mix.
  3. Melt chocolate in the microwave (in 30 second bursts) or in a double boiler. 
  4. Using a spoon, coat each ball in chocolate. This adds about 2g to the weight of the praline. I melted an 70g chocolate bar, but ended up using only around 50g.
  5. Place the chocolate-covered pralines on a sheet covered with parchment paper and let them set in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Notes

  • You can use any sweetener you like in this recipe. Personally, I find that by mixing sweeteners you don't get that one overpowering taste which makes sugar free sweets taste like "diet food".
  • If you aren't a fan of stevia drops or you don't have a sugar free syrup in the house, simply sweeten your sugar free truffles with erythritol. Use 3-4 tbsp, depending on your sweet tooth.
  • You can use sugar free chocolate, 90% chocolate (stir in 1 teaspoon of powdered erythritol if you wish) or unsweetened chocolate (stir in 1-2 tablespoon of powdered sweetener) to coat. 
  • I calculated the nutritional facts on the basis that a sugar free chocolate is used. If you use a dark chocolate with 90% cocoa solids, the 50 g you will use will contain ca 5 grams of sugar. Divided between your 25 pralines, the amount of sugar per praline will only go up by 0.2 grams.
