Avocado Chocolate Truffles





Avocado Chocolate Truffles

½ cup Purity sweet potato puree
1 large very ripe avocado, peeled and pit removed
1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups Nestle cocoa powder
1 ¾ cup icing sugar
1 ¼ cup desiccated coconut

Coconut for rolling

In your food processor or food blender, puree the avocado until a smooth consistency. Add a little bit of the sweet potato puree, to aid the blending process.

Add the rest of the Purity sweet potato puree, vanilla extract, cocoa, icing sugar and coconut into the food blender. Mix until well combined.

If you want to make it easier, put mixture in fridge to firm up.

Otherwise, form small balls (it’s a bit messy though), roll in coconut and keep in a dish with lid in the fridge.
