Sugar Free Red Velvet Truffles

Valentine's day is just around the corner! Do you have a special treat planned to make for the loves in your life?

I take every opportunity when a special occasion comes around to make a new sugar free recipe that not only appeals to my sweet tooth, but also can compete with store bought desserts!

I don't know how it happened, but my 3 kids think Valentine's day is about them. I guess it might be the fact for years I don't just give the hubby a homemade gift, I give the kids something too. So I guess that's my fault.

But just giving my hubby a treat like these keto red velvet truffles without sharing with the kids, there would be an uproar in my house for sure.

I remember the very first Valentine's Day I was newly sugar-free. I really had no clue about anything that might spike blood sugar or had unhealthy ingredients in it and neither did my hubby.

He bought me some store bought sugar-free chocolate candy for Valentine's day. I was thrilled, until.....about an hour later when the stomach cramps began.

I had no idea how Maltitol or other sugar alcohol products worked if you ate more than a little of it and in my body, it was not good.

I ate just one too many of those sugar-free candies! While I was so happy they were sugar-free and it was chocolate and I was desperate after months of no treats at all, portion control was thrown to the wind.

I'm sure you can imagine the evening wasn't spent very romantically.

It was after that horrible learning experience regarding store bought sugar-free candy, that I made the decision to make my own low carb desserts without nasty artificial sweeteners at home.

I did some research and found stevia wouldn't cause those adverse side effects. I never realized how artificial sweeteners were still causing me cravings even though I was following a low carb lifestyle.

I felt the sugar cravings were just as bad as when I was eating regular sugar.

I've never looked back once I learned that and so that is how I started using stevia in all my gluten free, sugar free treats, like keto cookies and even cream cheese frosting.

I love the fact that you can also find the liquid stevia in many different flavors. Since then I've also added a few more natural sugar free sweeteners to my repertoire, like Allulose, Monk Fruit and erythritol.

My Sweetener Guide explains them all and I have a conversion chart for you too!

It doesn't matter to me that I have to make my own special treats for Valentine's Day. I'd rather know what I'm indulging, made with simple ingredients and isn't going to make me sick, especially on Valentine's Day.

These are one of the best keto Valentine's day dessert around because they are super easy to make, no baking needed and I'm sure my hubby or yours could easily make them as well!

Can I make these cheese cake truffles dairy free?

Yes if you want to make these dairy free, you certainly can!

Just replace the heavy cream with canned coconut cream and replace the cream cheese with vegan cream cheese. A good choice we've used for my daughter is the Daiya brand.

Natural Red Food Color vs Red Dye 40

​If you really want that deep red color for red velvet desserts, you do need to add a little bit of coloring.

Red dye 40 is an artificial food coloring common in dairy products like ice cream, yogurts and popsicles, sweets like candy, chewing gum and cereals and things like sports drinks, energy drinks and even whey protein powders.

It's considered safe by the FDA, but some research has linked it to allergies, migraines and even behavioral problems like ADHD in children.

Since we have lots of allergies from mold, pollen, dust, and my youngest with tree nut and peanut allergies, I stay away from anything with Red Dye 40 in it.

I've found this natural food coloring on Amazon and at Whole Foods as a perfect choice to using artificial food coloring and it's worked really well to color my baked keto desserts and no bake desserts beautiful red for my low carb red velvet creations!
