Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half. Remove the stone and scoop out the meat. Place the avocado meat and salt in a mixing bowl. Blend until smooth using a stick blender with an attachment (**notes). Alternatively, mash REALLY WELL with a fork.
- Melt the chocolate (***see notes) and stir in the powdered sweetener. Add to the avocado and mix well.
- Scoop up one tablespoon of the avocado mixture at a time and roll it into truffles using your hands. Place the cacao powder in a bowl. Roll the truffles in the powder to coat them from all sides.
Notes
- Net carbs: 1.1g per truffle (weighing 15g each)
- Store in the fridge for 1 week. Suitable for freezing.
- ** As this is not a huge amount of avocado, a stick blender with an attachment works best (the little one you blend spices and sauces with). You won't have enough avocado for a full-sized food processor to do its job properly.
- *** How to melt chocolate without it seizing/curdling:
- Water Bath: Place the bowl with chocolate pieces into a larger bowl filled with boiled water. The heat from the water slowly melts the chocolate. Make sure you stir continuously.
- Microwave: Microwave the chocolate for up to 90 seconds or until the chocolate is half-melted. Remove and stir until fully melted.
- Flavour suggestions
- Orange: 1 teaspoon orange extract and 1 tablespoon grated orange zest.
- Nutty: 2 tablespoon almond butter and roll in ¼ cup chopped toasted almonds or hazelnuts
- 1 teaspoon maple extract/mint extract/coffee extract/ground cinnamon
