I have to say that I was quite surprised to learn that many don't know you can have chocolate on the keto diet. Of course, it has to be a specific type, like the kind I use with these Keto Sweet Cream Truffles. However, you can definitely have chocolate without ruining your diet.
The center of these Keto Sweet Cream Truffles is mind-blowing. You will feel like you're cheating on your diet but, you're really not. They're a sweet delight to kill any sweet tooth craving.
Keto Sweet Cream Truffles | A Delightfully Low Carb Treat!
Most people think that super healthy desserts take a lot of effort to make. That's not the case with these Keto Sweet Cream Truffles. They are super easy to make and take very little effort to throw together.
Keto Sweet Cream Truffles are one of my number one go-to dessert options. Being on a keto diet will mean a sweet tooth craving will pop up. That's easily taken care of with one of these tasty morsels.
Who made up this Keto Sweet Cream Truffles recipe?
But there's another reason that I love these Keto Sweet cream truffles--and that's because my brother and I made up this recipe when we were kids.
I mean, who else but kids would think of randomly cooking nothing but cream and sugar together??
I am not entirely sure whose idea it was to cook cream and sugar together, but I think it was my brother's idea. But here's the thing.
It was absolutely delicious! It makes a sweet, creamy, slightly chewy center--sort of like taffy but better.
I will say that I rarely bother to cover them with chocolate. The center by itself is quick to make, quicker to eat, and just as delicious as the whole shebang.
However, covering them with chocolate does make for a better presentation and a less sticky feast.

Ingredients
For the Truffle Center
- 2 cups (476 g) Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/2 cup (91 g) Powdered Swerve
For the Chocolate Coating
- 2 ounces (56.7 g) Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
- 1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) Butter
Instructions
Make the Truffle Centers
- In a nonstick saucepan, cook the heavy whipping cream and Swerve, stirring frequently, until the sauce has turned light brown and has thickened. You will be evaporating out most of the liquid from the cream and will have a thick, light brown mixture. This should take about 5-6 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and the mixture in the fridge to firm up for about 1 hour. (If you don't plan to dip them in chocolate, you can eat them warm and they're absolutely delicious this way as well.)
- Remove and make 12 small balls with the chewy mixture. Set them back in the fridge while you get the coating ready.
Make the Chocolate Coating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together for about 30 seconds, and stir. Let the mix rest for a minute and stir again to melt any remaining chocolate or butter.
Make the Truffles
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
- Remove the sweet cream centers and place them on a fork. Dip the fork into the chocolate coating, working fast to keep the chocolate from hardening. You may find it helpful to put the bowl of chocolate in a pan of hot water to keep it liquid.
- Take each dipped truffle and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Oh my, best Keto dessert by far, and so easy to make! Yes, the cream and sugar must be cooked at a pretty high temp, stirring constantly. I did have to cook for longer than recipe stated. Has anyone tried Swerve brown sugar? Curious if it is just as good...
Nancy P
Is there anything you can use as a substitute for Swerve?
URVASHI PITRE
Yes your sweetner of choice will work well. Just be sure to check conversion charts so it's adequately sweet.
Lynne
#trusturvashi - Do not substitute pure stevia for Swerve LMAO They're still really good, but lord, I hate that bitter taste pure stevia has! I need to pick up some swerve and make them again (hint - add a bit of cocoa powder and orange extract for some delicious orange truffles! SO GOOD!)

I made this to the recipe exactly, cooked cream and swerve on medium heat but never got thick and never got light brown at all. I kept it on the stove stirring frequently for 10 minutes (5-6 minutes???) and still no thicker and no color change at all....what is wrong?
I poured the cream “soup” into a bowl and left it in the fridge for an hour and a half but it was still no thicker. So i poured it back into the pan to cook some more, this time for over 15 minutes on medium heat. Still no thicker and no browner. I put it in the freezer this time and still no thicker.
What a waste of cream and sweetener. Booooooo

The photos I use are from when I make a recipe. So clearly it’s not the recipe. It’s a very simple issue. Your heat wasn’t high enough. For it to caramelize , you may need to turn up the heat a bit more.

I did not have the temp high enough once I put it on medium it boils and bubbled and reduced and also got brown. They turned out amazing. Love this recipe !! I got it from your book !! Thanks again ????????

I seem to have it still liquid and I cooked it on the stove top for 8 min stirring frequently Should it be very thick when I remove it from the stove top?
URVASHI PITRE
It should thicken as it cools, yes.
