CARAMEL-DARK CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES WITH FLEUR DE SEL
20 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped, divided
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2/3 cup whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Additional fleur de sel
Place 8 ounces chocolate in metal bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water); stir until chocolate is smooth. Remove chocolate from over water.
Combine sugar and 2 tablespoons water in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, occasionally brushing sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Increase heat; boil until syrup is deep amber color, brushing down sides and swirling pan occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add cream (mixture will bubble). Stir over very low heat until caramel is smooth. Mix caramel and 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel into melted chocolate. Chill until truffle filling is firm, at least 3 hours.
Place cocoa in bowl. Using 1 tablespoon truffle filling for each truffle, roll into balls, then roll in cocoa. Arrange on baking sheet. Cover; chill overnight.
Line 13x9x2-inch baking sheet with foil. Place remaining 12 ounces chocolate in medium metal bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water); stir until chocolate is melted and smooth and thermometer inserted into chocolate registers 115°F. Remove bowl from over water. Working quickly, submerge 1 truffle in melted chocolate. Using fork, lift out truffle and tap fork against side of bowl to allow excess coating to drip off. Transfer truffle to prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining truffles. Sprinkle truffles lightly with additional fleur de sel. Let stand until coating sets, at least 1 hour. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
Now this recipe, as written, according to my fitday has 208g carbs and 70g fiber and makes 32 truffles which would make each truffle about 4.3g carbs. (I used lindt 85% in my calculations)
Now... If I remove the sugar it cuts the carb counts by half leaving it at around 2.2g carbs per truffle (which means I can have 2-3 truffles)
The question is, should I just make a caramel with polyd and sweetzfree? Should I try and use erythritol? Any ideas on how to make this recipe work while keeping the carbs down?
Also, if I switch the Lindt to Chocoperfection bars it would have 1 carb per truffle but I really had a bad experience with the chocoperfection bars and I am not sure I would like to repeat it.
As usual, any and all suggestions will be helpful!
