Ingredients
  • 7 ounces dark chocolate (60% cocoa or greater)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange juice
  • 1 Haas avocado, peeled & pit removed
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
Instructions
  1. Combine chocolate & salt over double boiler, stirring until completely melted.
  2. In a food processor, blend together ginger, orange zest, orange juice, & avocado until completely smooth.
  3. Stir avocado puree into melted chocolate until thickened & smooth. Place mixture in refrigerator for 30-40 minutes, or until completely cool & slightly firm to the touch.
  4. Once chilled, use a tablespoon to scoop chocolate into 12 balls. Place on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Roll the balls between the palms of your hands to create a smooth surface. (Warning: This can get messy!)
  5. Place ¼ cup cocoa powder into small bowl. Roll each truffle into cocoa powder to coat. Serve immediately, or place truffles in a sealed container & store in refrigerator.
