This are my new favorite chocolates! Rich chocolate flavor and silky texture. And some oranges for nice Christmas flavor.

Pack them in a thin foil box covered with some nice paper and you will get a truly deluxe present!

Ingredients:

• 1 big avocado
• 40 g pitted dates*
• 80 g chocolate (at least 70%)
• 4 tsp unsweetened cocoa
• peel of two organic oranges
• cocoa for dusting

Preparation:

1. Using a blender or food processor mix avocado, orange peel and dates into a smooth cream.
2. Mix in 4 tsp of cocoa using a spoon.
3. Melt chocolate over water bath and mix it in the avocado cream.
4. Put it in the fridge for 2-3 hours to get firm.
5. When firm enough, form balls with your hands and dust it with cocoa.

* I find this sweet enough. However, my friend who tested it said it wasn’t sweet enough. I might have lost the perception for sweetness since I don’t eat sugar anymore. Add more if necessary 😉
