Description
These Chocolate Avocado Truffles are rich, creamy, and decadent, made with just four ingredients—ripe avocado, dark chocolate, sea salt, and cocoa powder. They’re vegan, gluten-free, and require no baking, making them a quick and healthy treat.
Ingredients
⅔ cup ripe avocado, mashed (about 1 medium avocado)
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Pinch of sea salt
Cocoa powder, for rolling
Instructions
- Scoop and mash the avocado, then add it with a pinch of sea salt to a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (1–3 minutes). Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the food processor with the avocado and blend until completely smooth with no visible avocado pieces.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Once chilled, scoop teaspoon-size portions (about 1-inch) and roll into balls.
- Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until fully coated. Optionally, sprinkle with coarse sea salt instead.
- Place truffles on parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use a perfectly ripe avocado for a smoother, creamier texture.
- Store in the refrigerator for best texture; they also freeze well.
- Try rolling in crushed nuts, coconut, or freeze-dried berries for variety.
- For a stronger chocolate flavor, use 70% or higher dark chocolate.
- Mash avocado thoroughly if not using a food processor.
