    Clean Eating Vegan Strawberry Fudge Truffles | The Healthy Family and Home

    These beautiful Clean Eating Vegan Strawberry Fudge Truffles might just be the most decadent dessert I have made to date.

    Gluten-Free Vegan Strawberry Fudge Truffles

    Here's why this recipe works - my top 3 reasons:

      1. Perfect holiday-themed dessert
      2. Healthy plant-based no-bake dessert
      3. Made with only 6 clean, real food ingredients

    Perfect Holiday-Themed Dessert

    Trying to find healthy desserts to share during the holidays can be challenging, but I'm here to help with that!

    These bright, vibrant naturally colored truffles are perfect for St. Valentine's Day, July 4th, or even Christmas.

    I wanted to make something "red" for a St. Valentine's Day theme, as I did with several desserts from my St. Valentine's Day Dessert Roundup with over 30 delicous recipes.

    Healthy Plant-Based No-Bake Dessert

    These truffles have a soft, melt-in-your-mouth fudgy, strawberry flavored center and are rolled in ground-up organic freeze-dried strawberries.

    I received 4 beautiful organic avocados in my last Farmbox Direct delivery (they deliver organic fruits and vegetables to your front door) and decided to use a couple for the perfect texture of the filling in these truffles.

    I blended the fudgy center in my Vitamix to make it extra creamy and smooth and they will need to set in the freezer for a little bit before rolling into balls and into the strawberry coating.

    So even though they take a little extra time and effort to make than my other truffle and ball recipes, it is definitely worth it!

    Made With Only 6 Clean, Real Food Ingredients

    Most homemade truffle recipes aren't healthy or vegan and contain refined sugar and dairy.

    For example, let's look at a typical ingredient list for homemade truffles:

    S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Chocolate Truffle Typical Ingredients: Powdered Sugar, Corn Syrup, Heavy Cream, and even Condensed Milk.

    This recipe is made with only 6 ingredients such as avocados, strawberries, coconut oil, almond milk, freeze-dried strawberries, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

    My healthier version is made with clean, real food ingredient and they're plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, no-bake, paleo-friendly and contain no refined sugar.

    Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions for Strawberry Fudge Truffles

    Here are some expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:

    Strawberries:  I used frozen organic strawberries in the filling mixture. However, although I haven't tested it, fresh strawberries should work as well.

    Avocados. You'll need to make sure you use ripe or soft avocados as this will give the filling the creamiest consistency and make them easier to blend.

    Coconut Oil. If you don't like the taste or smell of coconut oil, you can use organic refined coconut oil which has zero coconut taste or smell.

    Almond Milk.  Start with (1) tablespoon of almond milk to help blend the mixture. If the filling mixture is too thick, add an extra (1) tablespoon at a time to assist the blending, but add only as needed.

    Freeze-Dried Strawberries. I use an inexpensive coffee grinder to grind the dried strawberries into a powder.

    Chocolate Chips. In this recipe, I used "mini" chocolate chips, but since they will be melted you could also use standard-size chocolate chips in the same amount.

    Cookie Scoop. You don't have to use a cookie scoop, but it makes it so much easier and the size of the truffles will be consistent.  However, if you don't have one, just take a spoonful out at a time and roll them between the palms of your hands into a ball shape.

    Equipment

    • Vitamix

    Ingredients

    For the truffles:

    • 2 organic avocados
    • 1 cup organic strawberries (fresh or frozen)
    • 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil
    • 1 tablespoon homemade almond milk

    For the chocolate add-in:

    • 2 cups Enjoy Life semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
    • 2 teaspoons organic coconut oil

    For the coating:

    • 1 cup organic freeze-dried strawberries
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.

    Prepare the coating:

    • Add the freeze-dried strawberries to a coffee grinder and grind them to a fine powder consistency.
    • Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

    Prepare the chocolate add-in:

    • Add all ingredients for the chocolate add-in to a small saucepan and melt on the lowest heat, stirring continuously to make sure it doesn't burn, and then set aside.

    Prepare the truffles:

    • Add all ingredients for the truffles to a Vitamix and blend until it's creamy and smooth, using the tamper if needed. Add an extra tablespoon of milk if it is too thick and/or to facilitate the blending.
    • Transfer the truffle mixture to a medium-size mixing bowl.
    • Add the melted chocolate mixture to the mixing bowl and stir until everything is well combined.
    • Cover and place the mixing bowl in the freezer for approximately 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to hold into a ball shape. The mixture should still be semi-soft, but firm - not frozen solid.

    Assembly:

    • Remove the mixing bowl from the freezer and using a cookie scoop, scoop out the truffles, one at a time. After scooping them out, you can make them into a neater ball shape by rolling them into the palms of your hand, if you prefer.
    • Take each truffle and roll into the ground up strawberry powder until it is completely coated.
    • Place the truffles on the prepared cookie sheet and return them to the freezer for approximately 15-30 minutes to firm.
    • Store them in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve because they will get soft if left out at room temperature.

    Recipe Notes

    This recipe will make approximately 36 small truffles.
