Ingredients
  

1 ripe avocado

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or cacao nibs for rolling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

    Blend the Base: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the bowl. Use a fork or a hand blender to mix everything until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps remaining.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.

        Combine: Once the chocolate has melted, pour it into the avocado mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape into truffles.

            Shape the Truffles: Once the mixture has chilled and is firm, scoop out small portions (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls using your hands.

              Coat the Truffles: If desired, roll the truffles in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or cacao nibs to create an additional layer of flavor and texture.

                Chill Again: Place the coated truffles back on a plate and refrigerate for another 15-30 minutes to set.

                  Serve: Enjoy your Guilt-Free Chocolate Avocado Truffles as a healthy snack or a delightful dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
