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.
