Dark Chocolate Avocado Truffles with Hazelnuts

Ingredients

  • 1 avocado ripe
  • 100g (3½ oz) good quality dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • whole/crushed hazelnuts (use as much as you like)

Instructions

  • Melt the dark chocolate and set to one side to cool.
  • 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 cooled chocolate and honey/maple syrup and mix until everything is well combined. Pour out into a bowl and refrigerate for around 30-60 minutes (you should be 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!
