Ingredients
-
-
⅔ cup mashed ripe avocado (about 1 ½ avocados)
-
4 tablespoons maple syrup
-
10 drops of liquid stevia
-
6 oz. organic dark chocolate chunks or bar
-
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
⅛ teaspoon fine ground sea salt
-
3 drops Peppermint Vitality essential oil
-
Directions
-
Chop the chocolate into bite-size pieces and melt over a medium low heat in a double boiler.
-
While the chocolate is melting, place the ripe avocado into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado into a smooth puree. You can also process the avocado in a food processor.
-
To the avocado puree, add the melted chocolate and all remaining ingredients. Stir well with a fork or spatula to combine.
-
Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour max. That is an important step to firm up the batter and make the truffles easy to roll up.
-
Shape the truffles with your hands.
-
Roll each truffle into the coating of your choice : chia seeds, hemp seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder or shredded coconut and place the truffles on a plate covered with parchment paper. Store in the fridge 30 more minutes before eating, the texture will be even better. *
-
This recipe makes about 20-25 truffles. Store well in the fridge up to 4 days, in an airtight container.
*Roll half in coconut flakes and half in cacao powder for a festive look.
