Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Place the freeze dried strawberries, coconut, almonds and honey in a food processor. Blend, stopping to scrape the sides every so often, until the mixture starts to clump and can be shaped into balls. (This takes 6-8 minutes.)
- Scoop out about 1 rounded teaspoon of the mixture and form it into a ball. Repeat until no more filling remains. (Recipe makes 25-27 truffles)
- Place the balls on a small baking sheet or plate. Freeze for at least 10 minutes to harden.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a saucepan, over low heat.
- Once the chocolate is fully melted, turn off the heat. Grab the balls from the freezer and dip them into the melted dark chocolate. Place the dipped balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or large plate to set.
- Optional: top with crushed freeze dried strawberries.
- Store in fridge or freezer.
Notes
I used blanched almonds to make the filling more pink. However, you can sub the blanched almonds for any other nut or seed. Be patient with the filling, it takes a while to blend. If you have trouble forming the filling into balls, you can add more honey.
