Ingredients

  • 6 oz / 170g avocado flesh 1 large or 2 small avocados (¾ cup mashed)
  • 3.5 oz / 100g dark chocolate 90% cocoa solids, or sugar free chocolate
  • 2 tablespoon powdered sweetener  or more, to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
To coat
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder or cocoa powder, unsweetened

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Melt the chocolate (***see notes) and stir in the powdered sweetener. Add to the avocado and mix well.
  3. 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
