CHOCOLATE AVOCADO TRUFFLES

yield: ABOUT 10 TRUFFLES
A rich chocolate truffle with less fat and calories thanks to a secret ingredient: avocado!

​

​

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 small avocado (just under 1/2 cup mashed)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (use a good brand; I like Ghiradelli or Guittard)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• Sprinkles, cocoa, powdered sugar, or coconut for rolling

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place avocado in a food processor and blend until smooth. Meanwhile, add chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and melt for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Once chocolate is melted and smooth, stir in avocado and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least a few hours. (I forgot to add the vanilla in mine, but they were still good! Do what you'd prefer.)
2. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place sprinkles in a dish for rolling. You can also use cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or sweetened coconut, if you prefer. Use whatever you would cover regular truffles in! Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop balls of the chocolate mixture. Roll into even sized balls. Roll in topping, place back on cookie sheet. Chill until ready to serve.

I've heard that chocolate and chili are supposed go really well together. I don't think that it was Hershey bars, thou
