Notes

The extra 15g of chocolate is just to help make firmer truffles. You can fold in any flavoured extracts, edible oils, or crunchy "bits". Some other choices might include keto peanut butter truffles, vanilla extract, or even coffee to flavour.

I have included tips for substitutions for cream and chocolate bars in the blog post and FAQ's above.
