Easy Mocha Truffles
I love the holidays! It is a special time of year that I like to gather other keto friends to have a holiday baking party at my home. We all make our favorite holiday treat and then we all have a large dessert tray to bring to family gatherings.
One of my special treats that I made was my Mocha Truffles and everyone not only loved how yummy they were, they all loved how easy they were to make!
HOW TO MAKE EASY MOCHA TRUFFLES
To make my delicious truffles, I used Equip Prime protein powder that is made from beef!
What a great way to add protein and nutrition to a low calorie dessert!

Easy Mocha Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1/3 cup powdered allulose (plus 1 teaspoon stevia glycerite if desired)
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 scoops iced coffee Equip protein powder
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon rum extract (or Kahlua extract or vanilla)
OPTION 1 COATING:
- 1 scoop Chocolate Equip Protein Powder
OPTION 2 COATING:
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate chopped fine
- 1/2 cup powdered allulose (and 1/2 teaspoon stevia glycerite if desired)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- OPTIONAL (make brown butter for the truffles): In a large saucepan, melt the 1 cup of butter over medium-high heat and heat until it turns brown (not black), about 5 minutes. Add the allulose and stir until well combined, then remove the pan from the heat. If not making brown butter, place the softened butter and sweetener into a large bowl and use a hand mixer to combine.
- Using a handheld mixer on low speed, mix in the cream cheese, Equip protein powder, heavy cream and extract until combined. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Place in the refrigerator to chill and thicken overnight (or for 6 to 8 hours).
- Remove from the fridge and roll into 1-inch balls. For an easy coating, just dust the balls in Equip Chocolate Protein powder to finish. If you prefer to coat the with chocolate, place the balls in the freezer while you make the chocolate coating.
- Make the chocolate coating: In a medium-sized saucepan heat the heavy cream and butter until simmering. Remove from heat and add the finely chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth, stir in the allulose and extract.
- Remove the truffles from the freezer and dip them in the chocolate coating. Place the coated truffles in the fridge for a few minutes, until the chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“Yesterday was my 1 year ketoversary. In 1 year I have gone from 383 to 223, losing 160 pounds, reversed Type 2 insulin dependent diabetes, tackled a binge eating disorder, removed 13 medications, learned to cook, am practicing yoga, walking, biking and LIVING MY LIFE in a much healthier way!
14 months ago I made the decision to get weight loss surgery, having tried EVERYTHING else. I enlisted the help of a therapist to get me through surgery and she happened to also be an Emmerich trained coach. My therapist Carla asked me to consider giving her 6 months to try the Emmerich way of keto and I balked for 2 months until one day I ate a few hard boiled eggs and started the journey.
This way of eating has SAVED MY LIFE!
Slaying the dragon that has kept me chained to the tv and my sofa has saved my life! Learning to cook and not feeling deprived of the things I thought I couldn’t live without have saved my life!
My tips and tricks:
Don’t lie to yourself. Track everything that goes in.
You’re not hurting anyone but YOU when you cheat. You deserve better!Eat a hard boiled egg when you’re hungry. If you’re really “hungry”, that will be the best tasting egg you ever had!
Eliminate hand to mouth eating. Can’t cut it with a knife and fork? Don’t eat it!
Plan! ALWAYS have food on hand! Grilled chicken or pork, hard boiled eggs, Maria’s pudding, Maria’s Hawaiian rolls or her angel food cake slices. Fail to plan, plan to fail!
Forgive yourself and celebrate the small non scale victories. You deserve all the love
Bless you Maria Emmerich and Craig Emmerich for furthering this keto way of life and for giving me my life back!” -Andrea

These look like fun, will definitely try for Christmas! Quick question- I’m not going to buy iced coffee protein but I have the chocolate one. Could I add some instant coffee or even prepared espresso to the mixture to make mocha? Thanks!
Yes, you can do that. Enjoy!
