1. Directions
2. Set your Instant Pot to the “Sauté” function. Add the butter to the inner pot and allow it to melt completely.
3. Once melted, add the sugar-free chocolate chips, heavy cream, Swerve, rum extract, and lime zest. Stir continuously with a wooden spatula for 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Pro Tips
• For a deeper, nuttier flavor, toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before adding it to the chocolate mixture.
• Don’t be afraid to experiment with coatings! Instead of cocoa powder, try rolling the truffles in more shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts, or powdered erythritol.
• If the mixture is too soft to roll after an hour, place it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to help it firm up quickly.
• Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week for the best freshness and texture.
