👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Blend the strawberries:
If using freeze-dried strawberries, place them in a food processor or blender and pulse into a fine powder. (If using fresh strawberries, mash them well and reduce any excess liquid by gently pressing them through a fine mesh strainer.)
2. Mix the base:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the strawberry powder, shredded coconut, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until you get a smooth, thick mixture.
3. Chill:
Cover the mixture and pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes. This will make it easier to roll into balls.
4. Roll into truffles:
Once chilled, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
5. Coat with chocolate:
Melt the white chocolate (or dark chocolate) in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20-30 seconds to prevent burning. Dip each truffle halfway into the melted chocolate, then roll it in extra shredded coconut.
6. Set:
Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until set.
🍴 Serve:
Once set, these little beauties are ready to serve! Enjoy them as a refreshing, sweet treat for any occasion.
🌴 Variations:
For an extra pop of flavor: Add a splash of coconut extract or a little lime zest.
Chocolate coating alternatives: You could also dip them in milk or dark chocolate for a deeper flavor.
Healthier twist: Swap out the powdered sugar for a more natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey (though you’ll need to adjust the consistency slightly).
