Simple Strawberry Coconut Creme Truffles

Simple Strawberry Coconut Creme Truffles | Find the recipe on willbakeforbooks.com! #vegan #glutenfree #grainfree #paleoHappy weekend! As you may know, this weekend is special because tomorrow is MOTHER’S DAY! Such a beautiful holiday, even if a little “Hallmark-y”, as we like to call it in our household. My mom and grandma say every day is Mother’s Day for them, but I think it’s nice to just take a day and really, truly appreciate these special women in our lives. They are, after all, the reason we are here. 😉Simple Strawberry Coconut Creme Truffles | Find the recipe on willbakeforbooks.com! #vegan #glutenfree #grainfree #paleoMy mom is having brunch with my grandma tomorrow and then later my whole family is going out together. Since I’m pretty sure that between brunch and dinner Mom is not really going to be into dessert, I decided to make something small. Once you taste these Strawberry Coconut Creme Truffles, you won’t believe they are actually super healthy!! Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free and totally paleo friendly. My sister tasted one and likened it to a strawberry coconut ice pop/chocolate covered strawberry. It’s fresh, yet still decadent with the vegan chocolate. Not only that, but they are quick and easy to make!Simple Strawberry Coconut Creme Truffles | Find the recipe on willbakeforbooks.com! #vegan #glutenfree #grainfree #paleoHonestly one of the simplest recipes I’ve made. If you like strawberry and coconut, you will love this candy. Because it had so few ingredients, the fresh flavors of fruit really shine through. And the chocolate!!! I used Enjoy Life vegan chips…you guys, they are to die live for!Simple Strawberry Coconut Creme Truffles | Find the recipe on willbakeforbooks.com! #vegan #glutenfree #grainfree #paleoYou can store them in the freezer or fridge. In the freezer, it does taste similar to an ice pop. While in the fridge, it’s definitely softer and more melt-in-your-mouth. Either way is yummy, just depends on your preference!

    Yummy! These look good. I tried making truffles once (long, long time ago), and they didn’t turn out. Hopefully I’ll try them again. Someday.

      Thanks, Rissi. Actually, something similar happened with me when I attempted truffles the first couple times. They can be fickle things to make! If you try them out again, I recommend the Oreo ones from their website. They’re amazing! 🙂
