Ingredients

  • 8 oz semi sweet baker's chocolate chopped
  • ⅓ cup coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp seedless strawberry jam
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

  • Chop the baker’s chocolate.
    In a double boiler over medium-high heat, combine the coconut cream and strawberry jam. Once the mixture is warm and well combined, add the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
    ⅓ cup coconut cream, 2 tablespoon seedless strawberry jam, 8 oz semi sweet baker's chocolate
  • Add vanilla extract, stir, then cover and chill the mixture in the fridge for about 4 hours until firm.
    ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Roll the chilled chocolate mixture into small balls (I weighed each of mine at 20g each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (makes 14 truffles) Return to the fridge while you complete the next step.
  • Blend freeze-dried strawberries into a powder.
    ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • Roll the truffles in the strawberry powder until completely coated.
  • Return coated truffles to the fridge and enjoy them chilled.

Notes

  • When melting the chocolate mixture in the double boiler, keep the water just barely at a simmer. Avoid high heat and stir the chocolate mixture constantly as it melts.
  • Be sure to chill the chocolate mixture for a few hours to make rolling easier.
  • Be sure to blend the freeze dried strawberries to a fine powder or purchase as a powder.
  • Remove the truffles from the fridge just before serving for best results.
  • If you enjoy a firmer consistency for the truffles you can put them in the freezer for 15-30 minutes before serving.
