Avocado Truffles
Servings: 35 truffles
These Avocado Truffles are so simple to make and really very versatile. Enjoy as is or choose your favourite flavour to add.
Ingredients
- 170 g dark chocolate - melted
- 2 avocado/s - I used the flesh of 2 x 200g avocados
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 85 g rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup - (¼ cup)
- 1 tbsp cacao powder (to roll in)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate by placing it in a bowl over just boiled water. Mix until melted.
- In a food processor or blender, process all the ingredients (except the cacao powder) until a smooth paste is formed. Mix through any of the flavour options.
- Place into an airtight container in the fridge for 2 - 3 hours.
- Once the mixture is firm, scoop out a heaped teaspoon and roll into balls.
- You can roll in cacao powder as I have done in the photo, or roll in any of the other options (nuts, coconut, etc)
Thermomix Method
- In a completely clean and dry Thermomix bowl, melt the chocolate (broken into rough pieces) for approx 3 minutes, 70deg, speed 2. (Adjust time as needed until all chocolate melted.)
- Add avocados, vanilla, sweetener and any flavour options. Mix 1 minute, speed 4, until a smooth paste is formed.
- Follow from Step 3 above, using a rubber spatula to thoroughly scrape out the Thermomix jug.
Store
- Store in the fridge or freezer and serve well chilled.
