Hi there !
It’s already April, was hoping that I can post some of my cooking during my daughter’s spring break but I was busy doing activities with my daughter.
Avocado is one of my favorite fruit, I can spread them on my toast (I usually add salsa to go with). When the hunger strikes between my breakfast and lunch, I can just munch them to satisfy my hunger. I can toss them in my salad too. I came across truffles recipe on the internet that using avocado in their ingredients. My curiosity crawled and I was so eager to try it on.
You can’t even notice that this truffle using avocado
Ingredients :
- 1 cup roughly chopped high quality dark chocolate
- 1/3 cup completely mashed avocado (about 1⁄2 of a large avocado)
- 1 tsp matcha power
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
Directions :
- Bring a small pot with water about 1 inch deep to a simmer. Add a bowl on top that is wider than your pot so that it doesn’t touch the water.
Place in chocolate and stir until completely melted and smooth. - Add melted chocolate to the food processor and blend with avocado until no avocado streaks remain.
- Chill the chocolate mixture for about 20-25 minutes in the fridge so that it is slightly less sticky and a little more firm, but still soft and workable.
You don’t want to chill the dough too long because then the chocolate will firm up too much. - Measure out 1 tbsp of chocolate mixture and roll between palms to form a smooth, round ball. Repeat with remaining chocolate. Place finished balls on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Combine matcha power and sugar in the bowl.Roll balls in matcha mixture. Serve immediately or keep in the fridge.
