Servings: Makes about 20 balls
Ingredients:
– 2 cups frozen strawberries, thawed and drained
– 2 1/2 cups shredded coconut, unsweetened, plus extra for rolling
– 1/3 cup coconut flour
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
Directions:
1. Start by placing the thawed strawberries in a food processor and pulse until you get a chunky puree.
2. In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut, coconut flour, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3. Add the strawberry puree to the coconut mixture and stir until everything is evenly mixed.
4. The fun begins now! Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and roll it into balls with your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, pop it in the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm up a bit.
5. Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut until fully coated.
6. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least an hour or until they are firm.
7. Once set, transfer your strawberry coconut balls to an airtight container and keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to enjoy these little treats!
