Chocolate Covered Strawberry Truffles

Thanks to Ugly By Nature's IG page I discovered a yum-yum delicious lil' recipe that lead me to Feasting on Fruit's website. It was crazy-super simple, mostly healthy, and seriously divine! Tonight was a practice run and the next time the results will all be beautiful, rather than most looking like monsters and two looking decent. Practice makes perfect, right?


TOTAL TIME: 15 MINUTES

Like a chocolate covered strawberry but BETTER. Light, airy strawberry truffle filling coated in dark chocolate for a tart and sweet decadent bite of a treat!

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups (325g) frozen or fresh strawberries
1 cup (20g) freeze dried strawberries
3/4 cup (90g) coconut flour
1 cup (180g) chocolate chips (Personally, I think at least a cup and a half would be best, since I like to slather these beauties in chocolate!)

INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are using frozen strawberries, defrost them (2-3 minutes in the microwave).
Blend the strawberries to puree.
Add the freeze dried strawberries. Blend again.
In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry puree and coconut flour. Mix to form a thick dough.
Roll into balls.
Refrigerate or freeze for at least one hour until firm.
Melt the chocolate chips. You can add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil for easier coating.
Dip/coat each ball in chocolate. Transfer to a plate covered with wax paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.

Pop one in your gob and roll your eyes back in your head as you feel like you are eating fluffy chocolate covered strawberry cake bites!
