Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) dairy free chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) shredded coconut
Instructions
- Remove the avocado from the skins and remove the pits. Place the avocado in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Set aside.
- Add the chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl and melt at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well. If not completely melted, continue melting at 50% power in 15-second intervals, stirring after each heating.
- When the chocolate is melted, stir in the avocado, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until completely combined, then refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- When the mixture is chilled, scoop out a tablespoon of mixture, roll into a round truffle, and immediately roll in coconut. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of dairy-free milk chocolate chips.
- If your avocados are not very ripe, you can add a teaspoon of olive oil to help create a smoother texture.
- To prevent the truffles from sticking to your hands, lightly coat them with coconut oil before rolling in the shredded coconut.
