Ingredients
  1. 1 small avocado mashed
  2. 6 oz dark chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks
  3. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or almond extract
  4. Cocoa powder for garnish or melted dark chocolate to garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Melt chocolate over medium heat in a double boiler. Melt until completely smooth.
  2. While chocolate is melting mash avocado with a fork until smooth with no lumps, stir in vanilla or almond extract.
  3. Stir mashed avocado into the melted chocolate mixture until smooth and thick in texture.
  4. Place in fridge for approximately 20 minutes to firm up chocolate mixture which will allow you to roll it.
  5. Scoop into 12 balls and place on a lined baking sheet, roll quickly into balls. Be careful not to handle truffles too long our the heat from your hands will melt the chocolate.
  6. Dusting with cocoa powder – place in a bowl and roll one at a time until truffle is coated.
  7. Chocolate coating – melt chocolate chips or bakers squares let chocolate mixture cool so truffles do not melt. Once cool but not solid carefully using a spoon coat truffle with chocolate coating. Serve at room temperature.
Notes
  1. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a couple weeks.
