Small in size, but packing big flavor, creamy and sweet, they will satisfy even the most stubborn sweet tooth. Because they are so rich and decadent, these strawberry treats help keep you on track. Just one is enough to satisfy your cravings.

I am addicted to this strawberry treat recipe!  Seriously, I make it almost every week!  It takes only about 5 minutes to whip these bad boys up in the blender.

Making this recipe is super easy. Just puree the strawberries and then beat together with the cream cheese, honey, coconut oil,and vanilla. Scoop mixture into a silicone mold and freeze. That’s it!

Serve them right from the freezer or refrigerator for a small and delicious treat that’s super low in carbs and rich in important micronutrients.

Course Dessert, Snack

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature, or microwave it on half power for about 30 seconds to soften it.

  If using fresh strawberries, mash them well with a fork or chop them with a sharp knife. If using frozen strawberries, let them defrost first, drain any excess liquid, then mash with a fork.

  Or you can place them (fresh or frozen) into a small saucepan and gently simmer for 15 minutes until they resemble strawberry jam. Let them cool for a few minutes before proceeding with the next step.
• Add all ingredients to a medium sized bowl. Mix with a fork until fully combined.

  Or use a food processor and process until mixture is smooth and creamy. Or, if you prefer the mixture a little chunky for some texture, simply pulse a few times until the consistency you prefer is achieved.

  Scoop into 10-12 silicon moulds or lined muffin cups.

   
• Place in the refrigerator or freezer for about 20 minutes to fully chill and firm up.

  To store, transfer to a zip top bag or glass container and store in the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to eat them.
