Instructions
Leave dehydrated strawberries in their package, but open up a corner a bit to let air escape.
Use a rolling pin to completely crush the strawberries into powder. Divide in half (placing one half in a small bowl) and set aside.
In medium bowl, mix together one half of crushed dehydrated strawberries, strawberry whey powder and coconut flour. Use a whisk to make sure all dry ingredients thoroughly blended and not clumpy.
Pour almond milk into dry ingredients and use a spatula to combine. Mixture should be dough-like and pulling away from sides of bowl. If too sticky, add a bit more coconut flour, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Chill mixture for one hour in refrigerator.
Remove truffle filling from refrigerator and form into 16 equal size portions. Roll into a ball shape between hands, using a bit of coconut oil to keep from sticking to hands if needed.
For strawberry-shaped truffles, slightly flatten and pinch one end, while pulling out the other.
For round traditional-shaped truffles, keep in ball shape.
Add coconut oil and cocoa butter chips to small bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between, until everything melted. Stir in vanilla protein powder, sugarless sugar and salt.
Insert a fork partially in back of truffle filling and submerge in topping. For strawberry-shaped truffles, quickly dip top in bowl filled with remaining dehydrated strawberry dust.
Place strawberry truffle dust side up on wax paper and quickly insert chocolate chips or cacao nibs and spring of mint. For round truffles, places on wax paper and sprinkle strawberry dust on top before topping cools.
Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Additionally, truffles can be made without hard topping and rolled in the strawberry dust, chopped nuts or cocoa powder.
