For the praline, you will need:
- ¾ cup Wholesome’s Allulose Zero Calorie Granulated Sweetener
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup canned coconut milk, room temperature
- 2 tbsp butter, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
For the truffles, you will need:
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup canned coconut milk, room temperature
- 1 tbsp butter, room temperature
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line a quarter sheet with parchment paper
- Put all four praline ingredients into a saucepan, set it on the stove and turn heat to medium. Stir the ingredients until they all melt and turn golden, then stop stirring. Let the mixture com to a boil, and stir only occasionally while it boils. Boil for at least 6 minutes or until bubble dull in sheen, and when you stir, the mixture strongly stick to side of pan.
- Pour the mixture onto the lined pan and smooth it out like bark. Set it aside to harden, about 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Break up the bark into chunks and grind them up in a high-speed blender or a food processor. Don’t grind too long or it will turn to paste. You just want crumbs. Set aside and make the truffles.
For the truffles, melt 1 cup of the chips in a microwave at 60 seconds or water bath, and stir in the coconut milk. Once chocolate is glossy, add in the butter and vanilla and stir
