Who would’ve thought Avocado could be used in dessert, right? Well, we here at Avolands think this is probably one of our favourite things to make with avo. A healthy chocolate treat perfect for satisfying those with a sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
1 avocado skin and pit removed
60g dark chocolate
1 tablespoon honey
¼ cup cocoa powder
Method:
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each microwave session, until melted (I needed about two minutes total).
- Puree the Hass avocado in a mini food chopper for 1-2 minutes, or until a smooth mixture forms.
- Add melted chocolate and honey, return the lid to the food chopper, and puree another minute, or until smooth and evenly combined.
- Transfer mixture to a freezer-safe bowl with lid and freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
- Place cocoa powder in a bowl or container to coat the truffles with.
- Roll the truffles by taking one tablespoon of truffle mixture, rolling it into a ball with the palms of your hand.
- Place the truffles into the cocoa powder and turn until evenly dusted with cocoa powder.
- Put in an enclosed container and refrigerate until serving. Refrigerate any leftovers up to one week.
