keto friendly / df / gf
Mandy: This recipe I owe to my sweet mother-in-law. This past holiday season she wanted to make a yummy dessert for me to enjoy that was dairy free and sugar free! She melted down on-plan chocolate chips and mixed with an avocado, then formed them into balls! I was (and still am) obsessed.
I tweaked this recipe a tad to make it more affordable, but it’s still just as easy!
Pro-tip, you can sub out the vanilla extract for any flavoring or alcohol of choice!
Makes approximately 24 balls.
Ingredients:
- 5 oz. unsweetened bakers chocolate
- 2 Tbsp. coconut manna
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp. powdered THM Super Sweet (or Pyure)
- 1/3 c. mashed avocado (about 1 small avocado)
- Pinch of mineral salt
- cocoa powder, unsweetened coconut flakes, or melted chocolate for rolling
Directions:
In a double boiler, melt together chocolate, coconut manna, vanilla extract, Super Sweet, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mash the avocado until smooth and creamy.
Combine the chocolate mixture and the avocado until well combined.
Roll the mixture into small, bite sized balls in the palm of your hand and lay out on a plate. Cool in fridge overnight,
When ready to serve, roll the balls in whatever topping you’d enjoy!
notes
This mixture really needs to sit in the fridge overnight. The flavor seems to even out and become less bitter the following day.
