Instructions

Step 1: In a food processor, combine 2 peeled and pitted ripe avocados, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt; process until completely smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides once.
Step 2: With the processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil and 2 tablespoons almond milk until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
Step 4: Scoop the chilled mixture into 12 equal portions (about 1 tablespoon each), roll into balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optional: Press a few crushed freeze-dried raspberries on top of each. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
