Chocolate Avocado Truffles
These Chocolate Avocado Truffles are rich, creamy, and packed with healthy fats from avocado. A simple yet indulgent vegan dessert made with just 5 ingredients!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado, see note
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon refined coconut oil, optional
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted (you can also use a double boiler method to melt the chocolate if preferred).
- Add the avocado, melted chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to a food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour, or freeze for 10-15 minutes, until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the mixture and use your hands to roll it into a ball. Coat in desired toppings (such as cocoa powder, crushed pistachios, and freeze-dried strawberry powder) and enjoy!

Notes
- Use avocados that are just starting to ripen for the best flavor and texture. Overripe avocados will have a stronger flavor.
- Don’t rush the blending process! Let it blend for at least a minute or more so the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- After blending, taste and adjust as needed. If you prefer more sweetness, add extra maple syrup. The flavors will continue to develop as time goes by!
