Ingredients
Base Mixture
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons strawberry powder (from freeze-dried strawberries – optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries
Coating
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Mix dry and wet ingredients: In a bowl, add the mascarpone cheese, coconut sugar, coconut flour, strawberry powder, and vanilla extract. Mix them thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add strawberries: Fold in the diced strawberries carefully into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking down too much.
- Scoop the mixture: Using a one- or two-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the mixture. With clean hands, roll each scoop into small, bite-sized balls to form the truffles.
- Coat with shredded coconut: Pour the shredded coconut into a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle ball in the coconut, coating it thoroughly on all sides for added texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate the truffles: Place the coated truffle balls on a cutting board or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for at least one hour to firm up and allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- The strawberry powder is optional but enhances the strawberry flavor and adds a beautiful pink hue.
- Make sure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature to ensure easy mixing.
- You can substitute coconut sugar with regular granulated sugar if coconut sugar is unavailable.
- Keep the truffles refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
- These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or frozen for longer storage.
