Instructions
Blend the Base
Add the ripe avocado flesh to a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth with no lumps. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure a perfectly silky texture.
Combine with Chocolate
Add the melted vegan dark chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blended avocado. Process until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is uniformly glossy and smooth.
Chill the Mixture
Transfer the chocolate avocado mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until it is firm enough to roll into balls without sticking to your hands.
Roll the Truffles
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon scoop portions of the chilled mixture and quickly roll between your palms to form smooth balls. Work fast as the warmth of your hands will soften the mixture.
Coat and Set
Roll each truffle in unsweetened cocoa powder until fully coated. Place on a parchment lined tray and refrigerate for another 20 minutes before serving to allow them to firm up completely.
