Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp erythritol
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
- 1 oz dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Scoop flesh from 1 medium avocado into a food processor, adding 3 tbsp melted coconut oil, 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbsp erythritol, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt; process until completely smooth, scraping sides as needed.
- Step 2: Transfer mixture to a small bowl and chill for 15 minutes until firm enough to roll into balls (about the size of a walnut).
- Step 3: Melt 1 oz dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds, stirring once, then dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely and allowing excess to drip off.
- Step 4: Place coated fat bombs on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes until chocolate sets and fat bombs hold shape.
