Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 8 truffles

Ingredients

For Truffles

  • 3.5 oz dark chocolate 85% dark or higher, I used Lindt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 medium avocado
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 10 drops stevia or to taste

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts of your choice
  • drizzle of melted chocolate

Instructions

  • Add dark chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in pulses of 15 seconds until melted. Be sure to mix between pulses, to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Add in half of an avocado, and mash into the melted chocolate until there are no clumps remaining.
  • Add in peppermint extract and stevia to taste.
  • Stick in fridge for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture has solidified enough to form into balls.
  • Using a melon-baller, your hands, or a teaspoon, form into 1 inch balls.
  • Roll in cocoa powder, chopped nuts or drizzle with melted chocolate.
  • Return to fridge until ready to serve.
  • These store best in the fridge for 4-5 days. If yours are quite hard after storing in the fridge, set them out at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving and they should soften up perfectly.
