INGREDIENTS

1x
2x
3x
▢
200 g / 1 cup almond butter
▢
50-75 g / 1/2 cup almond flour or more, depending on the thickness of your almond butter
▢
8 drops stevia equivalent to 2 tsp sugar
▢
2 tbsp sugar free syrup
▢
optional: 1 tsp cinnamon
▢
INSTRUCTIONS

Blend the almond butter with the sweeteners and 50g (1/2 cup) almond flour. Check consistency. If your almond butter is quite runny, as was mine, add another 25g (1/4 cup). You are looking for a dough-like consistency that can be easily rolled into balls without being squishy or falling apart.
Roll into balls weighing ca 10-12g. I got 25 from my mix.
Melt chocolate in the microwave (in 30 second bursts) or in a double boiler.
Using a spoon, coat each ball in chocolate. This adds ca 2g to the weight of the praline. I melted an 70g chocolate bar, but ended up using only around 50g.
Place the chocolate-covered pralines on a sheet covered with parchment paper and let them set in the fridge for ca 20 minutes.
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 tsp of powdered erythritol if you wish) or unsweetened chocolate (stir in 1-2 tbsp 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 circa 0.2 grams.
