The first chocolate truffles were made around 1895 in France; nowadays you can find them almost everywhere, in a large range of flavours, shapes and textures. This sugar free vegan recipe alternative is the healthiest way to make your homemade chocolate truffles.
If you are not familiar with vegan recipes, the combination of avocados and cocoa powder can sound weird but it is a great combo to make truffles, mousses, brownies and much more recipes.
Ingredients
- One avocado, ripened
- 1 cup of sugar free dark chocolate, vegan
- ¼ cup of Natvia 100% Natural Sweetener
- Pinch of salt
Toppings:
- Chocolate sprinkles
- Peanuts
Method
- Melt your dark chocolate over a bain marie, also known as double boiler, or in the microwave. I don’t recommend using the microwave to melt your chocolate because you need to be really careful not to burn it. If you don’t have other choice, heat the chocolate no more than 10 seconds, stir, and heat again, keep doing this process until all the chocolate is completely melted, set aside to cool down.
- In a large bowl, smash your avocado and mix it with the Natvia and salt.
- Pour your melted chocolate into the bowl and mix everything until there are no clumps and you can’t see any green spot from the avocado.
- Place your bowl in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- When chilled now you can scoop a tbsp size ball and roll it with your hands.
To assemble:
- Roll each of your truffles over your topping of choice and place them over parchment paper.
- Put them back in the refrigerator for 10 minutes for them to set.
