I’m on an eating plan that allows butter and rich cream ~~ as long as they are eaten with less than 10 g carbs or after 3 hours of having carbs. (Check out trimhealthymama.com for more info!)
This recipe makes a great after dinner treat or snack to look forward to! ~ a simple, rich, elegant treat! So satisfying!
(*A similar Vanilla Truffle is posted here . *Both are rich S desserts or snacks on the THM plan)

Chocolate Truffle
Makes one serving – double as needed
In a small ramekin, mix with a fork:
2 Tbsp butter, 1/2 Tbsp Dutch cocoa, 1/8 tsp NuStevia sweetener, dash salt, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 2 tsp vanilla protein powder & about a Tbsp heavy cream — add enough to get a good consistency.
It will form a little ball like a Truffle & is so silky & chocolaty. Sometimes, leave a little sauce at the bottom for an extra treat! (It’s fun to garnish with edible flowers, if available.)
* You can adjust ingredients to suit your taste (more protein powder & cream for more of a milk chocolate)
* I like NuStevia for this, because it’s a fine powder that doesn’t leave any graininess.
* Heavy cream has less carbs than half & half , so it’s best for this recipe.
Violets are blooming right now, and I love using them as an edible garnish! (also pansies!)
