Things You'll Need:
- 8 oz. finely chopped unsweetened chocolate
- 2/3 stick butter, diced into small chunks
- ¼ cup coffee
- 1 vanilla bean, seeded and split
- 2 slightly beaten egg yolks
- 2 cups artificial sweetener
- ¼ cup powdered cocoa, unsweetened
-
Step 1
Place the unsweetened chocolate, butter, coffee, vanilla bean and beaten egg yolks in a microwave safe baking dish.
-
Step 2
Mix the ingredients slightly to moisten the chocolate, and microwave the mixture on 50 percent power for three minutes. Add a few more seconds if the chocolate needs more time to melt.
-
Step 3
Stir in 1 cup of the artificial sweetener and mix it well.
-
Step 4
Remove the vanilla bean and spread the mixture evenly into a small pan lined with parchment or waxed paper. Place the pan in the refrigerator until it firms up slightly.
-
Step 5
Combine the cocoa powder and the second cup of sweetener in a small bowl. This will be the dusting powder for the truffles.
-
Step 6
Cut the truffle into small pieces and then roll them into balls with your hands. Roll the truffles one by one in the dusting powder.
-
Step 7
Store the sugar-free truffles in the refrigerator, and serve them at room temperature.
