3 Ingredient Dark Chocolate Strawberry Coconut Butter Fudge Bites
{Vegan, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Keto & Paleo Friendly}

Makes 10-12 Deliciously simple, subtly sweet, buttery smooth, seriously indulgent, dark chocolate strawberry coconut butter fudge bites that you’ll really want to sink your teeth into

Ingredients –

1 cup of coconut butter – or you can make your own simply by blending 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened coconut flakes

1/2 cup of freeze dried strawberries

1 Tablespoon of cacao

1 teaspoon of vanilla (or 4-6 drops of vanilla cream stevia – I like to use Sweet Leaf Stevia )

A pinch of salt

Optional –  1 vital proteins collagen peptides (use the code NHN329 to get 10% off )

Method –

1 – Place 1/2 a cup of your coconut butter, plus 2 drops of vanilla stevia (or 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract) into a bowl, add cacao and collagen, if using, stir to combine.

If you find your coconut butter is a little to solid to work with, you can melt/soften it by placing it in a microwave for 15-20 seconds or place the bowl over a pot of simmering water for a minute or two.

2 – Use a teaspoon to scoop your chocolate coconut butter into a chocolate mold (or you can just use mini paper or silicone cupcake/muffin cases if you prefer) and gently tap on the counter to help smooth out the fudge into a nice even layer and remove any air bubbles.

Note – You can use all the chocolate coconut butter here or save a 1/4 of it to spread on top to finished your fudge. Totally up to you – I like to have some with chocolate on top and some without.

3 – Place in the fridge or freezer to set.

4 – Now onto the strawberry layer.

Place your freeze dried strawberries into a food processor or blender and process into a fine powder (or you can just crumble them up by hand)

5 – Place 1/4 cup of the remaining coconut butter into a small bowl, add 1-2 drops of vanilla stevia (or 1/4 tsp of vanilla) and your strawberry powder and stir to combine.

6 – Now, take your chocolate fudge out of the fridge or freezer (they should be nice and set by now), top each chocolate cup with 1/2 a tsp of your strawberry coconut butter, then use the back of your spoon carefully smooth out the top and firmly but gently press the filling down into the chocolate cups.

7 – Once all your cups are topped with their pretty pink strawberry coconut butter, you need to pop them back into the fridge or freeze for 5 mins to set before adding that final, vanilla layer.

8 – While your strawberry layer is firming up, stir remaining 1-2 drops of stevia (or 1/4 tsp vanilla) into the last of the coconut butter and stir to combine.

9 – Spoon 1/2 a tsp of vanilla coconut butter on top of each strawberry layer and voila’ done. Unless you want to add a final chocolate layer . . . then you’ll need to repeat the chill-spread process one last time.

These delicious little cups are best stored in the fridge or freezer will keep well in a sealed, airtight container the fridge for several weeks (if they last that long, mine never do!)  but, they can also be stored in the freezer for 3-6 months!

Enjoy xo
