Chocolate truffles are the ultimate indulgence… but what if you swapped out the saturated fat for heart-healthy omega-9s (also known as monounsaturated fats)? These Chocolate Avocado Truffles with Pink Himalayan Salt are loaded with fiber from the avocado as well as some vitamin E to help fight aging. They’re vegan, gluten-free and super delicious!

Ingredients
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips dairy free
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, if you want some heat!)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
Servings: truffles
Units:
Instructions
  1. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a food processor. Pulse until smooth. (If you don't have a food processor, you can put the avocado flesh into a medium bowl and mash well with a potato masher).
  2. Put the chocolate chips into a large microwave-safe bowl and melt for 1 minute at 50% power. Stir and keep microwaving at 10 second intervals until melted, stirring each time.
  3. Add the pureed avocado, vanilla, salt and cayenne (if using) to the bowl. Mix well and put in the fridge for 1 hour.
  4. Spread out the cocoa powder on a plate. Roll the cold mixture into balls in 1 tbsp-sized amounts and roll the balls in the cocoa powder.
  5. Keep your avocado truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy!

    My favorite recipe! Sometimes I like to add a walnut in the middle of the truffle for a surprise, protein packed CRUNCH!

      Sounds awesome! I loved the gold leaf ones Evan made. Does he make them the same way?
