Avocado Chocolate Truffles are a heavenly chocolate indulgence. They’re as decadent as your favourite truffle. Filled with a rich and creamy middle, every truffle bursts with pure chocolate flavours. While the truffles taste like a true chocolate indulgence, these sweet treats are a much healthier alternative.

Instead of being made with cream, these truffles are made with avocados. Avocados are the perfect base for chocolate truffles. They’re naturally rich and creamy and when they’re combined with cocoa powder, they create a decadent dark chocolate flavour.

Avocado Chocolate Truffles may be lower in fat, but your taste buds won’t know the difference. When the mashed avocados are mixed with cocoa powder, they suddenly look and taste like real chocolate. As the cinnamon, vanilla and honey are mixed in, the flavours combine to create a velvety treat that’s fit for a chocolate lover’s dream.

On its own, Avocado Chocolate Truffles are sweet and incredibly creamy. When you add cocoa or coconut flakes to the outside, it gives the truffles a distinct flavour. Covering the truffle in cocoa powder makes them even more decadent. It amplifies the chocolate flavour and adds a lightly bitter taste. With a coconut crust, the truffles become a little sweeter and they have a wonderful bite of texture. Whichever way you enjoy them, these mini truffles just scream yum.
