📋 Ingredients
My favorite thing about these Healthy Truffle Balls is that they're so easy to make with the healthiest ingredients.
- 🍫 Dark chocolate - in vegan desserts I always recommend using Hu Chocolate bars. They're Sugar-free, Oil-free and Soy-free and have the best taste. Enter the code IRYNA15 for 15% off on all Hu Kitchen products
- 🥑 Avocado - healthy fats
- Matcha powder - very high in antioxidants that may help neutralise harmful free radicals
- Cacao powder - for coating the truffles. Please note, I recommend using raw cacao powder versus Cocoa powder. The latter is more processed hence contains less nutrients than raw cacao powder
🔪 Instructions
1. Break chocolate bar into smaller pieces and place them in a large heat-proof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot filled with 2 inches of simmering water. Stir until chocolate has melted.
2. Meanwhile mash the avocado making sure to break small lumps. The best way to do this is to push scooped avocado through a fine metal strainer.
3. Turn off the heat and place the bowl on a counter. Add avocado and Matcha powder and stir to combine. The mixture will harden.
4. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
5. Using your hands roll the mixture into small balls and coat them with cacao powder.
🥘 Storing
These healthy dark chocolate truffles should be stored in a refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
