Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 cup butter
1 large very ripe avocado, peeled and pit removed
1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
+ some extra powdered sugar for rolling
Directions:
Directions:
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter, remove from heat, set aside. In your food processor or blender puree the avocado until a smooth consistency.

NOTE: if you add a little of the melted butter to the avocado, it helps in the process. Be sure there are no chunks of avocado left.

Add the avocado puree, vanilla extract, cocoa and powdered sugar into the saucepan with the remaining melted butter. Mix until well combined. Place the chocolate mixture into the refrigerator until it hardens. When chocolate mixture has hardened, remove from refrigerator. Line a sheet pan or cookie sheet with wax paper. Using a cold metal teaspoon, melon baller or mini ice-cream scoop and your hands, roll the chocolate into small balls about 3/4 inch diameter and arrange them on the sheet pan. If the mixture starts getting too soft to mold, put in freezer for a few minutes. Place the cookie sheet of chocolate balls in the refrigerator until firm.
Once the truffles have hardened, remove from refrigerator and roll in powdered sugar to coat the outside. Place finished truffles into a sealed container, store in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature when ready to serve.
