Keto Truffles & Cake Pops
These Keto Truffles (with keto cake pop option) are delicious bites filled with cake and icing, and coated with a delicious chocolate so good you won't miss sugar! They're so easy to make even the kids can help!
Cake is one of those unattainable things on the Ketogenic Diet, that until recently, I hadn't cracked.
But when I hit “publish” on The Best Keto Yellow Cake recipe, a whole world of desserts opened!
These Keto Truffles only scratch the surface of what you can do with keto desserts, but I wanted to start with them because they're super simple, and will hopefully get you to try my Keto Yellow Cake Recipe because it's seriously awesome!
If you already have the Yellow Cake made, all you need is 3 ingredients. If you still need to make the cake, then you'll need like 10. Nothing crazy that you don't already have in your cabinets – hopefully.
The one exception is the Lakanto Chocolate Bar.
These chocolate bars are hands-down my absolute favorite. I like my Lily's, and I like my ChocZero, but the Lakanto Bar I use in this recipe I ALWAYS have on hand because it's amazing for baking and the husband and 4-year old LOVE them.
You can find the Lakanto Bars here (take 20% off with code “fitmomjourney”) but if you wait until the weather cools off a little bit, they go on sale for 50% off about once per month.
Here's what you'll need:
1 Keto Yellow Cake Recipe, baked per directions
1/2 cup Lakanto Powdered Sweetener (save 20% with code “fitmomjourney”)
2 T Butter, softened
Dash of Vanilla, optional
2 bars Lakanto Chocolate, melted
Directions:
Bake the cake according to directions. Let cool and release from the pan.
Make the icing: Whip the butter, powdered Lakanto sweetener and vanilla in a small bowl.
Once the cake has cooled, crumble it with your hands in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to mix in 2 Tablespoons of the icing you made.
Using a regular cookie scoop, scoop out the cake mixture and form into balls with your hands. Place on a sheet of parchment paper and refrigerate until firm.
Melt the Lakanto Chocolate bars in a double boiler, then pour into a short glass. Pull the cake balls out of the refrigerator and put a toothpick in the top (if you're going to make truffles) or cake pop sticks (if making cake pops).
Dip each truffle into the chocolate, then set back on the parchment paper to set. If you're making truffles, pull each toothpick out of the top, and smooth over the chocolate where the toothpick came out.
Let harden completely, store in the refrigerator.
Macros: Makes 18, cookie-scoop sized truffles. If you make them smaller, you will need to adjust the macros accordingly.

I have to thank you – I made these last night with my little 2.5 year old, and they were AWESOME. Our daughter LOVES the cake pops from Starbucks, but, needless to say, we’d like her to have less sugar. These were such a hit, and she jumped up and down with excitement when she saw the cake pops come out of the fridge, ready for her to taste.
Making the cake was easy, and she loved helping squish the cake up into the balls.
Thank you for this terrific recipe. I try recipes all the time, and this is the first time I felt compelled to leave a comment!! I’m going to check out your other recipes. Thanks for giving me something that was not only delicious, but fun for my daughter and I to do together!
