Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup strawberries, roughly diced
- 1 sleeve graham cracker sheets (about 9 full sheets)
Base/Flour Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) almond flour
Coating/Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Pulverize graham crackers in a food processor until achieving a fine, uniform texture with no visible chunks.
- Incorporate fresh strawberries into the processor, gently pulsing to create small, distinct fruit pieces without creating a complete puree.
- Integrate almond flour into the mixture, blending thoroughly to develop a cohesive filling consistency.
- Utilize a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion the filling onto a wax paper-lined cookie sheet, forming approximately 16 uniform spheres.
- Freeze the formed spheres for 20-30 minutes, allowing them to solidify and maintain their structural integrity.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between cycles until completely liquefied.
- Extract frozen spheres from the freezer and carefully immerse each one into the melted white chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
- Optional: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers atop the chocolate-coated spheres for additional texture and visual appeal.
- Return chocolate-dipped bites to the freezer for 5 minutes, enabling the chocolate coating to rapidly set and harden.
- Remove from freezer and transfer to refrigeration for storage, maintaining optimal texture and freshness.
Notes
- Perfectly crush graham crackers to ensure a smooth, even texture without large chunks for better binding.
- Pulse strawberries carefully to maintain small fruit pieces, preventing a mushy consistency that could affect the bite’s structure.
- Freeze balls before dipping in chocolate to help them maintain shape and prevent crumbling during the coating process.
- Melt chocolate slowly and stir frequently to avoid burning, creating a smooth, glossy coating for a professional finish.
