1. Stovetop Method: Put the sugar free chocolate chips into a heat resistant glass bowl large enough to accommodate the chips and cream with room for stirring. Place the heavy cream, butter, and 4 tablespoons of sweetener into a small pot and heat over medium heat until small bubbles form around the sides of the pot and the cream is steamy. Stir to dissolve the sweetener, then pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir gently with a whisk until smooth and fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and brandy and stir. Let cool then cover and refrigerate several hours until firm or over night.
2. Microwave Method: Pour the heavy cream into a microwave safe glass bowl big enough to accommodate the chocolate chips and cream with room for stirring. Add the 4 tablespoons of sweetener and stir to dissolve. Add the butter and sugar-free chocolate chips and microwave at full power for 1 minute. Let it sit for 5 minutes and stir gently with a whisk until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and brandy and stir. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate several hours until firm or over night.
3. Shape: Put a piece of waxed paper on your work surface. Scoop the firm chocolate ganache from the bowl with a small dinner spoon or a melon baller and place onto the waxed paper. Continue until the ganache is gone. If the ganache is too firm, let it warm up for 30 minutes to 1 hour before scooping. I had to use a toothpick to help get the sticky chocolate ganache out of my melon baller. I'm sure a small cookie scoop would have been perfect.
4. Roll each portion of ganache into round "truffles" - I used my hands. If you don't like chocolate on your hands, use gloves or even sandwich bags on your hands. I weighed each portion (15 g) before rolling to make sure my truffles were the same. If your truffles are too warm and soft to shape, refrigerate them for 30 minutes or until they are firm enough to handle.

1. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the heavy whipping cream until it just begins to bubble (about a minute or two depending on your microwave).
2. Place the chocolate chips on top of the heavy whipping cream and allow them to sit in order to soften from the heat. The chocolate chips will take a few minutes to soften. When the chocolate chips begin to melt you can gently stir them to help combine them with the whipping cream. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to thicken. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Also, place the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl.
4. Use a scoop or a spoon to scoop out individual truffles. Working with one at a time, scoop the truffle, roll it into a ball, and then dip it into the cocoa powder. Then place the truffle on to the baking sheet and repeat. You can use a fork to hold on to the truffle for dipping and then another fork or spoon to help guide and cover the truffle with the cocoa powder. Another option is to roll the truffle around in the cocoa powder.
