About This Recipe
If you’re craving something festive but don’t want another cookie recipe, these Keto Eggnog Truffles hit the sweet spot. They capture the creamy, spiced flavor of traditional eggnog — but in silky, bite-sized pieces that melt in your mouth. Each truffle is perfectly balanced with the warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg, the richness of mascarpone or cream cheese, and the sweetness of sugar-free white chocolate.
This recipe is built for the holidays — easy to make, no baking required, and beautiful enough for a Christmas dessert platter or gift box. The truffle base combines melted white chocolate, butter, and mascarpone for a smooth, buttery texture. Almond flour adds structure while keeping carbs low. A splash of vanilla extract and a pinch of rum or brandy extract give that authentic eggnog vibe, all without alcohol or sugar.
The best part? They take only about 15 minutes to prepare and set up perfectly in the fridge. Once rolled and dusted with a light sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered erythritol, they look like tiny snowballs — the kind of treat you can serve next to coffee, wrap as a gift, or sneak straight from the fridge at midnight.
Low-carb doesn’t mean low fun. These truffles prove that keto desserts can feel indulgent, cozy, and festive all at once — exactly what December should taste like.
