These dairy-free chocolate truffles are made with avocado and vegan chocolate for a silky smooth texture and rich flavour.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 ripe avocado 
  • 80g high quality vegan chocolate 
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 3 tbsp raw cacao 
  • 2 tbsp coconut honey, maple syrup or rice malt syrup 
  • Pinch sea salt 
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder or essence

Fillings and toppings:

  • Whole hazelnuts 
  • Chopped hazelnuts 
  • Cacao powder
METHOD
  1. To make the truffles, add the avocado, cacao, sweetener and salt to your food processor or high-speed blender. Blitz until very smooth and creamy.
  2. Very gently melt the coconut oil and chocolate in a pan then add this to the processor. Pulse to combine everything.
  3. Transfer the mix to a container and then pop into the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up so that you can easily roll the truffles.

For the plain truffles:

  1. Scoop out bite-size pieces of the truffle mix and roll into balls in your hands and then roll in cacao powder. Store in the fridge or freezer.

For the nutty truffles:

  1. Scoop out bite-size pieces of the truffle mix and roll into balls. Flatten with your hand, insert a whole hazelnut into the centre, then fold the truffle around the nut. Roll in your hand to create a round ball. 
  2. Scatter chopped hazelnuts onto a plate, then roll the truffles in the nuts. Store in the fridge.
