Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup roughly chopped high quality dark chocolate
  • 1/3 cup completely mashed avocado (about ½ of a large avocado)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened dark cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instruction

  • In a food processor, blend avocado until completely mashed and no lumps remain. Keep in mind that 1/3 cup of mashed avocado is not the same as 1/3 cup unmashed avocado. So I recommend starting with ½ of a large avocado and mashing it and then measuring it out and only keeping 1/3 cup for your chocolate truffles.
  • Bring a small pot with water about 1 inch deep to a simmer. Add a bowl on top that is wider than your pot so that it doesn’t touch the water. Place in chocolate and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  • Add melted chocolate to the food processor and blend until no avocado streaks remain.
  • Chill the chocolate mixture for about 20-25 minutes in the fridge so that it is slightly less sticky and a little more firm, but still soft and workable. You don’t want to chill the dough too long because then the chocolate will firm up too much.
  • Measure out 1 tbsp of chocolate mixture and roll between palms to form a smooth, round ball. Repeat with remaining chocolate.  Place finished balls on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Spread 1 tbsp cocoa powder onto parchment paper. Roll balls in cocoa powder. Serve immediately or keep in the fridge.
