DARK CHOCOLATE AVOCADO TRUFFLES

By Peggie

Insanely decadent, creamy, fudgie, vegan Dark Chocolate Avocado Truffles. No one will ever guess there's healthy green stuff in them!

Ingredients

• 1 1 1 ripe avocado
• 5 5 5 oz dark baking chocolate bar or good quality dark chocolate bar
• 2 1/2 2 1/2 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
• 2 2 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch pinch of salt
• (optional) any other coatings - sprinkles, crushed nuts, shredded coconut

Preparation

Step 1

Peel and pit the avocado. In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth and lump free.

Melt the chocolate. I do this in the microwave at 50% power at 30 second increments, stirring after every 30 seconds until smooth and melted.

Stir in mashed avocado, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt and 1½ tablespoon of cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.

Chill the truffle mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours or until mixture has stiffened up.

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out truffle mixture. Roll into balls with your hands.

Roll truffles into remaining 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder or any other desired coatings.

Store in fridge. Enjoy!!!
