Rich and creamy sweet truffle delights!
I used cacao butter in this recipe and despite my expectations, it has hardly any chocolate flavor. Surprisingly though, when you open a bag, you can totally smell chocolate. Cacao butter is pretty similar to coconut oil as it helps smooth out chocolate, brings in healthy fat, and also it will return back to a solid as it cools.
Tips for making the best homemade keto coconut truffles:
-
- The extract I used in this recipe is butter pecan by Olive Nation. I love all their extracts but this one is a total home run!
-
- Coat your truffles in all your favorite low-carb toppings. I like to use chopped almonds, pecans, shredded coconut, and cocoa. I also like to sometimes dip them in melted chocolate to give them a shell to crunch into.
-
- Adding cream cheese to this truffle recipe not only makes them creamier but also gives an added boost in fat content which is oh so keto!
-
- If you’re a peanut butter fanatic like I am, consider adding in a little sugar-free peanut butter powder. YUMMO!
-
- To store these truffles, put them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week! 😋

These delicious keto truffles are packed with cacao butter, butter pecan extract, and unsweetened coconut. Your taste buds will thank you!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cacao butter, finely chopped
- 4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons keto sweetener, such as Monk Fruit
- 1 teaspoon butter pecan extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Toppings (optional):
Directions
1
Add cacao butter to a mixing bowl and set aside. Make sure cacao butter is finely chopped or shaved, this will help with it melting.
2
In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, add in cream cheese and heavy cream. Whisk until cream cheese has completely melted. Once the cream cheese has melted, add-in keto sweetener, butter pecan extract, and salt.
3
Remove saucepan from the stovetop and slowly pour heavy cream mixture into mixing bowl with cacao butter. Allow the heavy cream mixture to melt the cocoa butter. Slowly stir until all cacao butter has melted.
4
Add in shredded coconut and stir.
5
Place mixing bowl in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow to cool and thicken.
6
Once cooled, scoop out about a tablespoon size dough ball and place it on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. You can use a small ice cream scooper (tablespoon size). Do this as quickly as possible as you want to make sure the mixture doesn't start to melt. After all truffles have been formed, place them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
7
Roll truffles in your favorite keto-friendly toppings, I prefer this truffle with shredded coconut. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!

The keto life is oh so sweet!
Make a batch of these keto coconut truffles for Easter, Mother’s Day, or even Father’s Day for a low-carb treat the entire family will enjoy! I added a couple of them to my husband’s lunch this week and he had no idea they were keto. Now that is a win!
Here’s what my teammate Jen had to say after making these keto coconut truffles:
“This recipe is fast and EASY to put together, plus it’s oh so delicious! It’s a win-win for me as a busy mom to whip up these decadent treats. They have a slight butterscotch flavor and are absolutely divine, and really help with those sweet tooth cravings. I love how they are melt in your mouth and taste like they came from an expensive chocolate shop. It’s hard to believe these treats are keto!”
Is there another extract that I could substitute instead of the butter pecan?
Thank you!
Hi Victoria! 💖 You can use any extract you’d prefer, though it of course will change the end flavor. Almond or Hazelnut could be great options! 😋
