FAQ
Can I use regular powdered sugar instead of Swerve?
Yes, but this will no longer be keto-friendly and will significantly increase the carb content. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe.
What if I don't have candy molds?
You can pour the filling into a lined pan, chill until firm, then cut into squares or roll into balls by hand before coating.
How long do these truffles keep?
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
