Author: Amanda

Recipe type: Dessert

Serves: 12- 20

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ripe avocado
• 5 oz dark baking chocolate bar or good quality dark chocolate bar
• 2½ unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• (optional) any other coatings - sprinkles, crushed nuts, shredded coconut

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Peel and pit the avocado. In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth and lump free.
2. 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.
3. Stir in mashed avocado, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt and 1½ tablespoon of cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.
4. Chill the truffle mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours or until mixture has stiffened up.
5. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out truffle mixture. Roll into balls with your hands.
6. Roll truffles into remaining 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder or any other desired coatings.
7. Store in fridge. Enjoy!!!
