Maple Bacon Keto Truffles Recipe

These Maple Bacon Keto Truffles are a bacon lovers dream! This low carb bites recipe gives the perfect amount of sweet and savory. Try it today!

If there's one way to my heart – it's through bacon. The best thing man ever did, next to fry up some bacon, is to add bacon to desserts. If you love anything sweet and salty – these are for you.

Typically, when you think of diets – you think sweets or desserts are immediately cut out. That's what I love so much about the Keto Diet. While, yes, you have to watch your sugar intake – sweets are totally fine, in moderation.

After the delicious Microwave Chocolate Keto Mug Cake, we made last week, I knew we needed something sweet that you could make ahead of time and enjoy on demand.

These are so stinking cute that you could easily serve them during those yummy holiday meals. These can be the keto-friendly option for anyone wanting to stick to a low carb diet, even during the holidays.

Do you cheat on your diet during holidays?

Personally, I think cheat days are just fine – just as long as you don't fall off the wagon, per say. Should you choose to have a “cheat day,” please be sure that you limit yourself.

For example, on vacation you may want to indulge in the free resort buffet – go for it. Just be sure your diet cheat day doesn't turn into multiple days.

A Truffle Recipe That Doesn't Cheat!

Rather than worry about cheating on your strict diet, just make these Maple Bacon Keto Truffles. Pick a day of the week to make them and refrigerate the leftovers. You can enjoy them for next 4 days!

What You Need

• 8 ounce of cream cheese (softened)
• 8 tablespoons of butter
• 1/4 cup of Lankanto Maple flavored syrup (see link)
• 2 Tablespoons of Stevia for baking
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 pack of Bacon (16 ounces) cooked and crumbled into small pieces

Step-By-Step Instructions

In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, whip the cream cheese and butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Add the Maple flavoring, and mix until well blended.

Combine the vanilla and Stevia. Then, add to the cream cheese mixture. Blend well.

Next, place the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for an hour.

Cook the bacon until completely done and blot away any fat (grease) with paper towels.

Let the bacon cool. Then, crumble the bacon into small pieces and place in a shallow dish.

Remove the Truffle mixture from the refrigerator and roll the mixture into balls the size of a tablespoon.

Next, roll the Truffles in the crumbled bacon and place on a parchment paper lined dish or cookie sheet. 

When all Truffles are rolled, place the dish or cookie sheet in the refrigerator. Allow keto truffles to set for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

When ready to serve, place the Truffles on a serving plate, or tray, and Enjoy! All remaining Truffles may be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
