Banana-Peanut Butter-Chocolate Truffle Recipe

Rich, no-bake chocolate truffles with banana crunch and a peanut butter center.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time2 hours 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup avocado, mashed about 1 large avocado
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder or unsweetened cocoa powder plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 5 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup banana chips, crushed

Instructions

  • Place the mashed avocado in a food processor and blend until very smooth.
  • Add the chocolate protein powder (plus 2 tablespoons) and vanilla extract to the processor and blend until fully combined and smooth.
  • Put the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted (about 1½ minutes total).
  • Pour the melted chocolate into the processor and blend until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  • Transfer the truffle mixture to a medium bowl, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up.
  • Line a large plate with parchment or wax paper. Drop the natural peanut butter onto the paper in 1-teaspoon-sized dollops and place the plate in the freezer while the truffle mixture chills.
  • Place the crushed banana chips on a shallow plate or bowl for rolling, and line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper for finished truffles.
  • Scoop about 1/2 tablespoon of the chilled truffle mixture and slightly flatten it in your palm. Put one frozen peanut butter dollop in the center, top with another 1/2 tablespoon of truffle mixture, and roll to enclose the peanut butter. Repeat to make remaining truffles.
  • Roll each truffle in the crushed banana chips until coated, place on the prepared sheet, and keep refrigerated until serving.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use ripe avocado for a smoother texture.
  • Freeze peanut butter drops so they hold their shape inside the truffles.
  • Microwave chocolate in short bursts and stir to avoid burning.
  • Chill truffle mixture well before scooping for easier shaping.
