Chocolate Avocado Truffles

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup Avocado (mashed)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar-Free Maple Syrup (or maple syrup if not keto)
• 6 oz Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate (or >85% or stevia sweetened)
• 4 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
• 2-3 drops Monk Fruit Drops or Stevia Drops (optional, add to increase sweetness if you like)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the ripe avocado flesh in a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado into a smooth puree. You can also process the avocado flesh in a food processor.

2. 2

   Add the sugar-free maple syrup, melted chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla, and stevia drops if you want to increase the sweetness. Stir to combine.

3. 3

   Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. That's an important step to firm up the batter and make the truffles easy to roll up.

4. 4

   Slightly grease your hands with coconut oil and shape the truffles with your hands.

5. 5

   Roll each truffle into the coating of your choice: unsweetened cocoa powder or desiccated 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.

6. 6

   This recipe makes about 25 truffles. Store well in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
