Ingredients

  • 250 g dark chocolate
  • 15 g coconut butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 60 g dried cranberries
  • Desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate and coconut butter over a low heat in a small saucepan. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder until combined into the liquid.
  • Peel the avocado and remove the stone. Mash the avocado to a smooth consistency in a bowl.
  • Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the avocado, add the cranberries and mix together thoroughly.
  • Place the bowl in the fridge for approximately one hour until the mixture has slightly hardened.
  • Using a spoon, divide the mixture into 10 balls, roll each ball in the palm of your hands (will be messy – so ideal for children to do!), then roll the balls in the desiccated coconut.
  • Store the chocolate cranberry truffles in the fridge in an air tight container.
