Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut --this makes 1 cup of coconut butter It needs to be the full fat shredded coconut to work.
  • 1 cup Sliced strawberries
  • 2 T Maple syrup I used real organic
  • 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
  • 1 T Coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • In the food processor, blend up the shredded coconut, scraping the sides down every few minutes. Be prepared to be patient. It takes about 20 minutes.
  • When the coconut butter is ready, add the strawberries and maple syrup to the processor and blend the ingredients until they are smooth.
  • Use a cookie scoop or a spoon drop small balls (1 to 2") onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
  • If the filling is too soft when forming the balls, stick the mix into the fridge for 15 minutes to allow it to firm up.
  • Stick the completely formed truffle balls on the sheet into the freezer to completely firm up (about 20 minutes).
  • While they are firming, use a double boiler method to melt the dark chocolate and the oil.
  • Stir constantly while they are melting to create a smooth mixture.
  • Working quickly, use two forks to roll the truffle balls into the chocolate and place back on the cookie sheet.
  • Place the completed truffles back into the freezer for 30-60 minutes for the chocolate shell to set.
  • They can be kept in the freezer until ready to be served. At the time of serving let them sit for a few minutes to soften slightly and serve.
