INGREDIENTS

1 avocado, stoned, peeled and mashed

2 tablespoons of maple syrup

170 grams of dark chocolate, melted

4 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

1⁄2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

50 grams of desiccated coconut

INSTRUCTIONS

Begin making this healthy sweet treat by combining the maple syrup, melted chocolate, cocoa powder and mashed avocado in a large bowl. Thoroughly mix so that it becomes a smooth paste before covering and placing in the fridge for around 30 minutes, or until the truffle mixture has hardened slightly.

Lightly grease your hands with coconut oil and shape the individual truffles with your hands. Once the truffles are round, roll them in the desiccated coconut and place them on parchment paper before returning them to the fridge for another 30 minutes.

Once the truffles have hardened, remove from the fridge and enjoy. Any leftover truffles can be kept in the fridge for up to four days in an airtight container.
