If you had told me 10 years ago that I’d be making truffles with avocado and dates… I would’ve laughed while spreading Nutella on toast. But here we are—and these little green-specked powerballs are everything! Creamy, naturally sweet, and secretly packed with nutrients, these truffles are the ultimate guilt-free treat.
I actually made these years ago, but back then I barely had a decent camera, and honestly, people weren’t ready for the “healthy dessert” glow-up. Fast forward to now—so many of you have asked for this recipe again that I knew it was time for a glow-up video and blog post to match!
The best part? You don’t even need to turn on the oven. These are no-bake, naturally sweetened, and the combination of almond butter, matcha, and cacao gives them this rich, earthy flavor that hits just right. And let’s talk texture—rolled in crunchy walnuts, coconut flakes, or extra cacao powder for that decadent truffle finish.
They're freezer-friendly, super satisfying, and perfect for meal prep (yes, dessert counts as meal prep in my house). My son even grabs one before school when he's rushing out the door—and if you’re a parent, you know that’s a win.
So whether you're craving something sweet, want a post-gym bite, or just need to keep your hands busy while watching your favorite show, these avocado truffles are it.
