You’ll need: saucepan · blender

3. Straight away, stir the fat together with the nuts, vanilla extract and 1 pinch of sea salt to make a dough.

Good to know

Macadamia nuts are the true kings of the keto diet. Paired with creamed coconut, they become truffles.

Swaps

Macadamia nuts → pecans (another very low-carb, soft alternative with a strong nutty flavour).

Cooking tips

Don't grind the nuts for too long at once. If they get warm, the oil comes out and you end up with macadamia butter instead of nut flour.

Storage

Because of their very high fat content, these truffles melt in your fingers. Only take them out of the fridge seconds before eating.
