Dark Chocolate Avocado Truffles with Hazelnuts
Ingredients
- 1 avocado (very ripe)
- 100g (3½ oz) good quality dark chocolate
- 2 tbs honey or maple syrup
- whole/crushed hazelnuts (use as much as you like)
Instructions
- Heat the chocolate until just melted, and set to one side.
- Scoop out the flesh of the avocado and place in a food processor.
- Blitz until it is nice and smooth, scraping down the sides as you go.
- Add the melted chocolate and honey/maple syrup and mix until everything is well combined.
- Pour out into a bowl and refrigerate for around 30-60 minutes (or until you are able to handle the mixture and roll into balls).
- Roll into around 12 balls.
- For half of them, flatten the balls and place a whole hazelnut in the centre. Roll it back into a ball so the hazelnut is covered.
- For the others, roll the balls in crushed/chopped hazelnuts until they have a nice, even covering.
- Store in the fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!
