Avocado Truffles/Icing

AVOCADO TRUFFLES/ICING

This is a an amazing thick creamy icing, or, when chilled, a pretty spectacular fudge!

Original Recipe:
1 large avocado (obviously with no peel or pit)
1/3 cup honey
3 - 4 heaping Tbsp cocoa (depending on how chocolately you want it)
pinch of salt
Optional: 1.2 tsp vanilla
Optional: 1 Tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil

Update: I have made this so many times, the recipe can really be reduced to the following:
Mash/puree an avocado
Add cocoa until it is a good chocolately color
Add honey until it is sweet enough
Add a tiny pinch of salt

Mash/puree everything together. It will be delightfully thick and creamy. If you are using it as icing, or as a dip for strawberries/other fruit, you can use it immediately.

To make truffles I gently drop spoonfuls into a plate full of cocoa. I then gently roll the very soft chocolate around until it is covered in cocoa. Then I gently transfer the balls to a plate and freeze for at least an hour. If you freeze for longer, you may need to let them warm up for 10 minutes before serving. They should be frozen, but not so hard that you can't bite into them.

Modification Options/Ideas:
-Add a dash or two of cinnamon, vanilla, or other spices (ginger, nutmeg, chili powder, etc)
-Roll in chopped nuts instead of cocoa
-Use part molasses instead of just honey

I used this as an icing on a layered chocolate black bean brownie cake with raspberry jam in between the layers. Cake, Jam, Cake, Icing. :) It got some pretty good reviews.
