Ingredients
- 2/3 cup avocado mashed (about 1 large or 135 grams)
- 6 tablespoons chocolate casein protein powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (omit if you just want straight-up chocolate)
- 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips (or dairy-free)
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Blend the avocado in a food processor until it is very smooth.
- Add in the protein powder, vanilla extract, and almond extract and blend until well combined.
- In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips and the coconut oil for about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds, until the chips are melted.
- Add the avocado mixture to the bowl of melted chocolate and stir very well until the chocolate is fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper, and place the sweetened coconut flakes in a shallow plate.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the mixture and roll it around in your hands to create even balls.
- Roll each ball around in the coconut flakes and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
