This paleo & vegan easy healthy chocolate avocado truffle recipe is sure to become a favorite in your home. Warning - they are quite delicious!

1 large ripe avocado (each approximately 4 inches in height ~7 ounces)
3/8 cup coconut butter
3/8 cup cocoa (see notes for carob substitution tips)
3 tablespoons powdered low-carb sweetener (or alternative--see Special Diet Notes for options)
3/32 teaspoon pure stevia extract (3 mini scoops)
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 dashes cayenne (optional - omit for AIP)
Toppings (crushed pumpkin seeds, coconut, cocoa, powdered sweetener, etc.)

Place all ingredients in a food processor.
Process until well mixed.
Place in a bowl in the refrigerator until fairly firm (approximately 40 minutes), or alternatively use the freezer for 10-20 minutes.
Using a small cookie scoop or melon baller, scoop out balls of the avocado mixture and roll into balls.
Roll the balls into desired topping.
Refrigerate or freeze any remaining truffles for later.

For a low-carb option, use powdered xylitol instead of coconut sugar, or substitute ¼ cup powdered organic erythritol.
