It was a point of curiousity really that lead me to risk the chocolate on making truffles with a vegetable (well technically a fruit) even if it is one that I like. These are incredibly easy to make, the hardest part mashing the avocodo down so that there are no lumps.
Makes 12 Truffles
1 Small Ripe Avocado
140g Dark Chocolate
Cocoa for dusting
Method
- Melt chocolate either in a bowl over a pot of simmering water or in a microwave for 30 seconds at a time stirring each time until its all melted.
- Mash an avocado with a fork until its smooth like whipped cream. Gradually add melted chocolate to the avocado. Allow to cool and pop in the fridge for 20 mins.
- Take teaspoons of the chilled chocolate mix and roll into a ball and toss in cocoa. Pop them back in the fridge for 5 mis to firm up or until ready to eat.
