- 2 tbsp powdered keto sweetener
- ¼ cup chopped sugar-free cherries (fresh, frozen, or no-sugar-added)
- ½ tsp almond extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

How to Make Our White Chocolate Cherry Truffles
- Mix the filling. In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sweetener, almond extract, vanilla extract, and protein powder until thick and creamy.
- Fold in cherries. Gently stir in the chopped sugar-free cherries, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
- Chill to firm. Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes until thick enough to roll.
- Roll into truffles. Scoop small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Melt the white chocolate. Microwave sugar-free white chocolate chips with coconut oil in short bursts, stirring until glossy and smooth.
- Dip the truffles. Use a fork to dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off before placing it back on the tray.
- Set and chill. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the white chocolate shell hardens.
- Serve. Enjoy chilled straight from the fridge for the best texture.
