Chocolate Avocado Truffles make for a keto-friendly treat that is worth sharing! These incredible 2 ingredient truffles are packed with incredible flavors and make a healthy snack for any time. These are the ultimate indulgence that won’t destroy your diet!
Have you tried using avocado in place of butter or oil in your desserts yet? It is amazing how rich the results seem without the taste of avocado at all. When I heard about avocado and chocolate, I knew I had to try it, and let me tell you, it is such a wonderful combination!
If I hear the word truffles, my mouth starts to water. My willpower is tested at this time of the year when so many wonderful candies are available. I had an idea in mind, and a craving for truffles so I combined chocolate and avocado for a decadent treat that is keto-friendly. Chocolate Avocado Truffles are low in carbs yet bursting with luscious flavors.
Is it even fair to call these truffles a treat? If you think about it, they are the best kind of healthy food! Avocados are full of protein and a good kind of fat, and they are a good source of fiber and vitamins too. Ok, maybe it is a stretch to declare chocolate avocado truffles as a health food, but they certainly have their advantages over some other chocolatey treats. These are also dairy-free in addition to being keto-friendly so almost anyone can enjoy them!
The ingredients
- Avocado. Use a good quality and ripe avocados
- Chocolate. You will need semi-sweet or milk chocolate to add some sweetness. Dark chocolate works; however, it might be too bitter
- Optional: Coconut oil to make the chocolate smooth
- Optional: Salt to balance the taste
- Cocoa powder to dust the truffles
