Ingredients
Truffles
- 1 Avocado (2/3 cup)
- 1 Cup Semi-Sweet Choc Chips
- 2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Coconut Sugar or other sugar
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Blueberries
Chocolate Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Confectioner's Sugar
- 1 tsp Cocoa Powder
Instructions
- Add the chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl. Melt by microwaving in 30 second increments, and stirring after each until smooth and melted.
- In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with potato masher, pastry blender, or fork. You can also use a food processor if you want it to be extra smooth.
- Add in the cocoa powder and coconut sugar, and stir. Continue stirring, and add in the melted chocolate chips. Mix everything until it is smooth and combined.
- Using a silicone spatula, fold in the blueberries. Once thoroughly distributed, cover the bowl and let chill for at least half an hour, or up to 2 days.
- In a small bowl, mix together the confectioner's sugar and cocoa powder for the chocolate sugar until combined.
- Using a 1.5-inch cookies scoop or large spoon, scoop balls of the truffle chocolate, and then roll in the sugar. Place them on a parchment paper-lined tray. For the best experience chill for another hour. However, you can eat them immediately.
Notes
- Alternatives: Try these truffles with other fresh fruit, nuts, or other fillings. Roll in chocolate sprinkles, colored sparkling sugar, or confectioner's sugar without cocoa for a different look.
- Refined sugar-free version: Skip the chocolate sugar, roll the truffles in cocoa powder alone, or replace the confectioner's sugar with a natural alternative.
