Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup macadamias or cashews
  • 1 ½ shredded coconut organic
  • 8.8 oz strawberries 1 punnet fresh
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract

Coating

  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ cup cacao powder

Instructions
 

  • Add macadamias, shredded coconut, strawberries, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla paste to a high speed blender (or food processor) and process until smooth. Place the mixture in the freezer to firm up, approximately 30 minutes (maybe a bit longer), as the mixture will be very soft. Just make sure you don't leave too long or it will be difficult to roll into the truffles.
  • Remove from the freezer and roll the mixture into small balls and place on a lined baking tray. Then place back into the freezer to firm up a bit more, approximately 10- 20 minutes. This will make it easier to coat in the chocolate mixture. You want the truffles to be really firm to coat in the chocolate mixture.
  • To make the chocolate coating, melt the coconut oil in a saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat, add the maple syrup, whisking briskly until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well mixed through.
  • Once the strawberry cream truffles are ready, coat in the chocolate mixture. Once they are all coated, then do a second coating. I use either two spoons or a spoon and a fork to coat them in the chocolate mixture and drain off any excess.
  • Place them back in the freezer for a minimum 10 minutes so that the chocolate sets. Keep stored in the refrigerator or freeze.

Notes

The chocolate did crack a little bit on some of the truffles. I will update the recipe if I can work out a better way.
