Ingredients

  • 2 medium avocados (about 240 grams flesh from firm but ripe avocados)
  • 6 ounces sugar free chocolate chips (or regular dark chocolate chips)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream
  • 6 tablespoons powdered sweetener (see notes for options)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1/16 teaspoon stevia extract (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • toppings (coconut shreds or desiccated coconut, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, chocolate drizzle and chopped nuts, freeze dried fruit powder, etc.)

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate chips over low heat in a heavy-bottomed small sauce pan.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pan. Blend using an inversion blender or place the ingredients in a food processor. Process or blend until smooth.
  • Chill mixture in fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or melon baller, scoop balls and place in a baking pan or on a plate.
  • Roll the truffles in desired topping(s).
  • Store in refrigerator to firm.

Notes

  • Make sure to use ripe, but firm avocados. The recipe will still taste great using softer avocados, but they will be softer and harder to shape into balls.
  • I tested this recipe with powdered xylitol, which produced an exceptionally rich, truffle-like texture. Other powdered sweetener options are coconut sugar, allulose with monk fruit, erythritol with monk fruit, or cane sugar. Take care to not use xylitol around dogs. Liquid sweeteners such as maple syrup or honey will likely produce a softer truffle.
  • This recipe makes about 30 truffles using a small cookie scoop/rounded tablespoon.
