Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 1/2 C dairy free chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp homemade vanilla extract
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 C shredded coconut

Method
 

  1. Remove the avocado from the skins and remove the pits. Place the avocado in a food processor and pulse until the avocado is completely smooth. Set aside.
  2. Add the chocolate chips to a large microwave safe bowl and melt at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate chips really well. If they're not completely melted, continue to melt the chocolate chips at 50% power for 15 seconds, stirring after each heating.
  3. When the chocolate is melted, stir in the avocado, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until completely combined then refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  4. When the mixture is chilled, use a tablespoon to scoop and then roll into round truffles and immediately roll the truffles in the coconut. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to two weeks.

Notes

Use sweetened or unsweetened coconut, your choice. Unsweetened is the healthier choice ;)
