Saw a friend make this and I can’t wait to try it! They were so good!

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!
Variations & Tips:
– If you’ve got a sweet tooth, drizzle some melted white chocolate over the balls for added indulgence.
– You can swap out strawberries for other berries, like raspberries or blueberries, for a different twist on flavor.
– For a nutty crunch, mix in chopped almonds or pecans into the coconut mixture.
– To make these vegan, opt for maple syrup rather than honey.
– Remember, because these are made with real fruit, they won’t last as long as other sweets. They’re best enjoyed within a few days – which, let’s be honest, won’t be a problem!

Keep in mind that the moisture content in strawberries can vary, so if the mixture seems too wet, just add a little more coconut flour until you reach the right consistency. These strawberry coconut balls are refreshingly simple, and I promise they’ll be a hit wherever you bring them – even if it’s just to the couch for a little self-care snacking session! Enjoy, friends!
