Avocado Truffles

| No-bake Sweets, Desserts

These dark chocolate Avocado Truffles are so simple to make and really very versatile, sweet treats. Enjoy as is or choose flavours to add – choc orange and choc mint are particular family favourites but there’s so much flexibility with this recipe. Being made from fresh avocado combined with dark chocolate and sweetener, these will last a few days in the fridge or weeks in the freezer – if they aren’t all eaten by then!

Health benefits

Avocado gives you a dose of healthy monounsaturated fats that support steady energy and keep you satisfied, while dark chocolate provides antioxidants and a lovely richness. Because these truffles rely on wholefood ingredients with no fillers, they’re far more satiating than traditional store-bought chocolates.

Ingredients

The mixture comes together with ripe avocados blended with melted chocolate (dark), a touch of vanilla extract and your choice of natural sweetener. A little cacao powder (or cocoa powder) finishes them off, though you can easily coat or mix in nuts, coconut or other add-ins.

How to make Avocado Chocolate Truffles

To make these healthy truffles, everything blends into a smooth paste in just a few minutes, then rests in the fridge until firm enough to roll. Once chilled, scoop and roll into small balls, dust in cacao or your chosen coating and keep chilled until ready to serve. It’s a very forgiving recipe, so you can adjust the sweetness or add flavour variations as you go.

Serving suggestions and how to store

These are best served cold, so the texture stays fudgy and firm. Keep a batch in the refrigerator for the week or store them in the freezer for longer. They thaw quickly, making them a handy treat to have on hand when guests pop in or when you want something sweet after dinner.

Vary these Avocado Truffles to suit your dietary needs

These are already suitable to a gluten-free diet. You can easily adapt these to vegan by choosing a dairy-free chocolate, using rice malt syrup for a lower-fructose option or rolling them in nuts, coconut or dried raspberries for extra texture. A splash of rum or a little peppermint or orange zest also turns them into a completely different style of truffle without needing a new recipe.
