This low carb Truffle recipe uses one of my favorite flavor pairings Mint and Chocolate.

Keto Truffles that are easy to make
These Mint Chocolate Truffles are so easy to make. All you need is a food processor and a freezer and your all set.
The first step to making these Mint Chocolate Truffles is to make the mint center. This is so easy because you just put everything inside of a food processor and then roll into balls and freeze.
Next you roll the frozen mint truffle centers in some sugar free chocolate and then you are good to go.
Great Low Carb Chocolate
My favorite Keto Chocolate is Kiss my Keto MCT oil infused Chocolate. It is for this reason why I used Kiss my Keto Chocolate in this recipe for Mint Chocolate Truffles.
Kiss my Keto is the only brand of Chocolate that I have ever heard of that makes a Chocolate using MCT oil in its ingredients. The readers of Omg Keto Yum can save 10% when they use Code: OMGKETO10 – so stock up not only for this recipe but because you’re worth it!

Traditionally Avocados are used in savory dishes but Avocados are also wonderful in low carb desserts.
