Ingredients

12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips I like to use Ghiradelli
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
1 large ripe avocado (¾ cup mashed)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
cocoa powder or minced pistachios for coating

Instructions

Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, for 2 to 3 minutes or until fully melted and smooth.
Mash the avocado really well until it’s smooth and lump-free.
Add the mashed avocado, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt to the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature until it’s firm enough to roll into balls. In a hurry? Pop it in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes to speed things up.
Scoop the mixture into 1 tablespoon-sized mounds. Roll each into balls.
Scoop mixture into a tablespoon measure balls, gently roll between the palm of your hands until smooth and round.
Roll each into toppings, if desired. Place them on a sheet pan and chill until firm. After the truffles are firm, you can transfer them to an airtight container.
Store the truffles in the refrigerator, and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving — they taste best when slightly softened.

Notes

Mash the avocado until completely smooth — no lumps! This ensures a silky texture in every bite.

Use vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips to make vegan chocolate truffles.

Choose high-quality chocolate like Ghirardelli or Guittard for the best flavor and texture.
