Dark Chocolate and Freeze Dried Strawberry Uplift Truffles

Dark Chocolate and Freeze Dried Strawberry Uplift Truffles

Decadent, protein-packed treats with a hint of strawberry — perfect for a guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 2 scoops Uplift protein + creatine blend

  • 6–8 pitted dates

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp freeze-dried strawberry powder (optional, for extra color/flavor)

  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust for sweetness

  • 2–3 freeze-dried strawberries, roughly chopped

  • 100g dark chocolate (for coating)

  • Extra freeze-dried strawberry pieces (for topping)

  • If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 tsp of water, a little at a time, until it sticks together.

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor, blend the dates, almond flour, Uplift blend, cocoa powder, strawberry powder, and maple syrup. Process until combined into a sticky dough.

  2. Fold in chopped freeze-dried strawberries by hand.

  3. Roll the mixture into small balls (~1 inch / 2.5 cm). Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Put in the fridge, while chocolate melts.

  4. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (or microwave in short bursts).

  5. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, then place back on the tray.

  6. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a few pieces of freeze-dried strawberry on top.

  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until chocolate sets.

Tips / Variations:

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

  • Swap dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate if desired.

  • Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a gourmet twist.
