NO-BAKE, VEGAN STRAWBERRY COCONUT TRUFFLES!

Ingredients (yields 12):

– 3 oz of freeze-dried strawberries

– 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries, diced

– 1/2 cup of finely shredded coconut

– 1/4 cup of coconut oil, not melted

– 1 cup of dark chocolate chips (I used HuKitchen Gems)

Instructions:

1. Blend freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until a fine powder forms (make about 1 cup of powder), then transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with the shredded coconut.

2. Blend the fresh strawberries until pureed and add to the bowl.

3. Add coconut oil to the bowl and mix until well combined.

4. Roll the mixture into balls (or heart-shapes!) and chill in the fridge until firm (about 10 minutes).

5. Once firm, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until completely melted.

6. Dip the strawberries into the chocolate and place on wax paper. Place in the fridge to let the chocolate set.

7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or the fridge and enjoy!
