Servings 30 @ 2 truffles
Calories 132 kcal
Ingredients
8 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
6 ounces heavy cream
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp chocolate liquid stevia or vanilla
pinch salt
natural red food coloring
1/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips Optional
12 ounces 85% dark chocolate or Lily”s sugar free chocolate
Instructions

Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and add cream. Set bowl over a small saucepan over simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and stevia into a stand mixer. Blend on medium until smooth. Add salt and a few drops of red food coloring. Blend again until combined. Pour in the cooled, melted chocolate and blend on medium speed until incorporated. Add more red food coloring until desired color. Stir in optional chocolate chips if desired.

Use a 1-1/4-inch mini cookie scoop and make 60 small balls. Place them on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Freeze for one hour or overnight.

Melt chocolate for outer coating by placing in a microwavable dish and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, then heating for another 30-seconds until completely smooth—could take up to 2 minutes.
Dip red velvet truffles into melted chocolate, one at a time. Use a fork to remove and place back on parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all are coated with chocolate, refrigerate for 30 minutes to one hour, or until ready to serve.
