Description
These healthy avocado cacao truffles are rich, smooth, and made with clean ingredients. A perfect blend of avocado chocolate, natural sweetness, and deep cacao flavor creates a luscious bite-sized dessert that’s both indulgent and nourishing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe avocado (soft but not brown)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cacao powder (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/4 cup melted dark chocolate (70% or higher, no refined sugar)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smoother texture)
- Optional: Melted dark chocolate (for drizzle or coating)
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the melted dark chocolate, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the avocado mixture. Blend until silky and uniform. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired. If the texture is too thick, add coconut oil or a splash of almond milk.
- Transfer the truffle mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Once firm, use a tablespoon or small scoop to portion out each truffle. Roll between your palms to form smooth balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Dust each truffle with cacao powder or drizzle/dip them in additional melted dark chocolate. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes to set before serving.
Notes
- These truffles are perfect for vegan diets.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by varying the amount of maple syrup.
- Keep chilled for optimal texture.
