Ingredients for Keto Lemon Truffles

These truffles are made with simple, wholesome ingredients that come together for a smooth, creamy texture and a fresh lemony taste.

Dry Ingredients:

✅ 1 cup almond flour – Gives a soft, buttery texture while keeping it gluten-free.
✅ ¼ cup coconut flour – Absorbs excess moisture and enhances structure.
✅ ¼ cup powdered erythritol – A keto-friendly sweetener for a smooth texture.
✅ 1 tablespoon lemon zest – Adds a burst of fresh citrus flavor.
✅ Pinch of salt – Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.

Wet Ingredients:

✅ 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice – For natural tanginess and brightness.
✅ 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil – Binds the ingredients and adds richness.
✅ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract – Rounds out the flavors and adds warmth.

Optional Coating:

✔️ Extra powdered erythritol for a frosted effect.
✔️ Shredded coconut or finely grated lemon zest for decoration.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, lemon zest, and salt. Make sure everything is evenly combined to prevent clumps in the truffles.

Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients

Pour in the melted coconut oil, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the mixture forms a thick, dough-like consistency. If the dough feels too dry, add 1 more teaspoon of lemon juice.

Step 3: Shape the Truffles

Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Optional Sweet Coating

For extra sweetness and a finished look, roll each truffle in powdered erythritol or unsweetened shredded coconut. This gives them a frosted appearance and adds a touch of crunch.

Step 5: Chill & Enjoy

Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the truffles chill for at least 30 minutes. Once they’re firm, they’re ready to serve!

Storage & Serving Tips

🔹 Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
🔹 Freezer: Freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw for 5–10 minutes before eating.
🔹 Serving Suggestions: Pair with a cup of keto tea, coffee, or iced lemon water for a refreshing treat!

Frequently Asked Questions

🔸 Can I use butter instead of coconut oil?
Yes! Melted butter works just as well and gives a richer flavor.

🔸 What’s the best keto sweetener for this recipe?
Powdered erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or allulose work best. Avoid granular sweeteners, as they won’t dissolve properly.

🔸 How do I make these truffles extra lemony?
Add ½ tablespoon more lemon zest for a stronger citrus punch.

🔸 Can I add cream cheese for a creamier texture?
Absolutely! Substitute 2 tablespoons of coconut oil with softened cream cheese for a richer, more decadent truffle.

Pro Tips for the Best Keto Lemon Truffles

✅ Use Fresh Lemon Juice & Zest: Fresh lemon gives a more vibrant flavor compared to bottled lemon juice.
✅ Sift Your Sweetener: Powdered erythritol can clump, so sift it before adding to the mix for a smoother texture.
✅ Don’t Skip the Chilling Step: This allows the flavors to meld and helps the truffles firm up properly.
✅ Make a Double Batch: These disappear fast—double the recipe for meal prep or special occasions!
