INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTION:
COCONUT FLOUR:
- It helps to make the mixture dense for shaping the balls. It quickly takes in the moisture, so less quantity is best. Almond flour can be utilized, but it will make a smooth texture and may require an extra quantity if preferred.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS:
- Provides a soft chocolate covering and maintains low carb. Dark stevia- or erythritol-sweetened chocolate is perfect. You can also heat a crushed keto chocolate bar if chips are not available.
PEANUT BUTTER:
- Gives a silky texture and a creamy flavor. Select unsweetened natural peanut butter. Without nuts or different flavor versions, sunflower seed or almond butter works properly.
POWDERED ERYTHRITOL:
- Include sweetness without increasing sugar level or carbs. If required, any powdered keto sweetener will be used, such as stevia powder, allulose, or blended monk fruit.
COCONUT OIL:
- It helps to melt chocolate slowly and gives a glossy finish. You can omit it or use butter in place of it.

TIPS:

FAQs:
How can we make it sugar-free?
- Just add unsweetened chocolate.
Can I omit the chocolate coating?
- Yes, they provide a good taste rolled in crushed nuts, coconut, or cocoa powder as an alternative.
May we defrost it at a normal temperature?
- They will be softened lightly, yet the covering of chocolate helps them to remain in their shape, especially when chilled.
Can I utilize almond flour instead of coconut flour?
- Sure, but almond flour will not absorb the moisture, so you have to add more for the same thickness.
