Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup strawberries, roughly diced
- 1 sleeve graham cracker sheets (about 9 full sheets)
- 3/4 cup almond flour
Coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Crush Graham Crackers: Process the graham cracker sheets in a food processor until finely crushed with no large chunks remaining to ensure a smooth texture for the filling.
- Add Strawberries: Add the roughly diced strawberries to the food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped but not pureed, preserving a fresh fruity texture.
- Combine Almond Flour: Add the almond flour to the mixture and pulse until everything comes together to form a cohesive, moldable filling.
- Form Balls: Scoop the mixture into 16 equal balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Transfer to the freezer and chill for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and well combined.
- Dip and Coat: Remove the frozen balls from the freezer and individually dip each one into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated, then place back on the lined baking sheet.
- Set and Store: Return the coated bites to the freezer for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Store the finished treats in the refrigerator and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure not to puree the strawberries to retain a bit of fresh texture in the filling.
- Using coconut oil helps the white chocolate have a smoother, shinier coating.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To speed up the process, you can freeze the bites longer before dipping if you want a firmer coating.
- For a dairy-free option, ensure white chocolate chips are vegan or use a suitable substitute.
