Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Covered Strawberry Truffles
These addictively delicious strawberry truffles are made with only 4 simple ingredients and are super easy to make.
I like to try to give you a new St. Valentine's Day recipe each year and this one is a slight variation of some other truffle recipes I've made over the past 6 years.
It's very similar to my other Strawberry Fudge Truffles recipe where I used fresh and freeze-dried strawberries, my Raspberry Truffles recipe where I also used freeze-dried raspberries and this Raw Strawberry Creme Chocolate Truffles recipe using just fresh strawberries.
But this one is even easier.
These are made with just 4 ingredients that you probably already have on hand and one of my favorite flavor combinations: chocolate + strawberries.
They have a sweet, chewy, strawberry center and are covered with melted chocolate.
If you need them to be lectin-free, just use 69% cacao dark chocolate morsels instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Basically, all you do is add a bag of freeze-dried strawberries + Medjool dates to your food processor and process, roll them into a ball shape then dip them into melted chocolate.
That's it!
I like using freeze-dried fruit because you can just take a bag out the pantry whenever you need it and I've used it in these recipes: Dried Blueberry Protein Energy Balls, Coconut and Mango Chocolate Cups, Raw Apricot and Date Protein Truffles, No-Bake Cacao and Raspberry Mousse Cakes and Chocolate Raspberry Crispy Treat Squares.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Truffles
Ingredients
For the truffles:
- 2 cups organic freeze-dried strawberries
- 8 large organic medjool dates pitted
For the chocolate coating:
- ½ cup Enjoy Life mini-chocolate chips*
- 1 teaspoon organic coconut oil
Instructions
Prepare the truffles:
- Add all ingredients for the truffles to a food processor and process until it becomes a sticky, crumbly texture.
- Take out a small spoonful at a time and roll them into a ball shape. Set aside.
Prepare the chocolate coating:
- Add all the ingredients for the chocolate coating to a small sauce pan and melt on lowest heat, stirring the entire time until it becomes smooth.
Assembly:
- Add each ball into the saucepan with the melted chocolate and gently toss around until they are completely covered.
- Remove them from the saucepan and place them on a plate or baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Put them in the freezer for approximately 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
- Store in an air-tight BPA-free container in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to serve because they will get soft if left out at room temperature.
- Enjoy!
