These rich, fudgy truffles deliver deep, cozy cocoa flavor using wholesome ingredients like avocado and almond butter. They are a perfect make-ahead, healthy Valentine's treat that feels indulgent yet nourishing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe avocado, flesh scooped out
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup almond butter or sunflower seed butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips (70% or higher)
  • Optional coatings: crushed freeze-dried strawberries, shredded coconut, extra cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the avocado flesh, cocoa powder, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  2. Process the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, portion the mixture and roll into balls.
  5. If desired, roll the balls in optional coatings like crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a pink Valentine's look.
  6. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or freeze for 20-30 minutes, to firm up before serving.

Notes

Ensure avocado is very ripe for a smooth texture. For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter. For vegan, use maple syrup and dairy-free chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
