Ingredients

Strawberry Ice Cream Filling

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, thawed if frozen
  • 1/2 cup thick coconut cream
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour, if needed to thicken the mixture

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Blend the filling: Add the strawberries, coconut cream, protein powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
    Adjust the consistency: If the mixture is too soft to shape, add the coconut flour a little at a time. The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape once chilled.
    Shape the bon bons: Spoon the mixture into small silicone moulds or roll into 12 small balls. Silicone moulds are particularly useful if you want the rounded appearance shown in the recipe image.
    Freeze: Place in the freezer for 3–4 hours, or until completely firm.
    Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil in a microwave in short intervals, stirring between each, or use a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water.
    Dip the centres: Remove the frozen strawberry centres from their moulds. Working quickly, dip each one into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
    Set the coating: Place the coated bon bons on a baking-paper-lined tray. Return to the freezer for 10–15 minutes, until the chocolate has set.
    Store and serve: Keep in an airtight container in the freezer. Allow to soften for 3–5 minutes before serving.
    Tips and Variations
    Extra berry flavour: Add 1 tablespoon of finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries to the filling.
    White chocolate version: Use melted white chocolate for a sweeter coating.
    Strawberry crunch: Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries over the chocolate before it sets.
    Dairy-free option: Choose a dairy-free protein powder and dairy-free chocolate.
    Creamiest texture: Use thick coconut cream and avoid adding extra liquid.
