Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat mat, then set aside.
Prepare the truffle mixture:
Add all ingredients to a Vitamix and blend on high speed until it is creamy and smooth. You may have to stop and scrap the sides a couple of times. Add an extra tablespoon of almond milk, if needed, if it's too thick.
Transfer the mixture to an air-tight BPA-free container and put in the freezer for approximately 1-2 hours, or until it becomes firm enough to hold a ball shape.
Assembly:
Remove the mixture from the freezer and using a small cookie scoop, scoop out the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet or a Silpat mat. Use your fingertips to shape them into a rounder and neat ball shape.
Take each truffle and gently drop into a small bowl of raw cacao powder, gently rolling around to make sure it's completely covered, and return to the cookie sheet.
Transfer the cookie sheet back to the freezer for approximately 30-60 minutes to firm up again.
Store in an air-tight BPA-free container in the freezer until ready to serve because they will get soft if left out at room temperature.
Notes
Avocados: Soft, ripe avocados will work best because they will be easier to blend.Medjool Dates: Make sure they are pitted before adding to your Vitamix. In addition, these are not an overly sweet dessert so feel free to add extra dates or 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter truffle.Cacao Powder: Can be substituted with regular cocoa powder in the same amount.Almond Milk: Start with (3) tablespoons and add an extra (1) tablespoon at a time, but only as needed to help the mixture blend in the Vitamix. I like to use homemade almond milk, but another great option is Joi Organic Almond Milk which is made with 100% organic almonds.Coconut Oil: If you don't like the taste or smell of coconut oil, use organic refined coconut oil which has zero coconut taste or smell.Himalayan Pink Salt: This is my salt of preference, however, it can always be substituted with sea salt.Serving Size: This recipe will make approximately (26) small truffles. Nutritional information is for (1) truffle which is (1) serving.
