Honey Dark Chocolate Truffles
Makes: 8 Truffles
Ingredients:
- 5 ounces unsweetened, dairy-free dark baking chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Sifted cocoa powder, for garnish
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 30 seconds. Then stir. Repeat microwaving and stirring in 30 second intervals until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or until the mixture has hardened and cooled completely.
- Remove the bowl from the fridge, let it warm down for 10-15 minutes. Then scrape out tablespoonful portions into damp hands. Roll into balls. Your hands will get chocolatey, but the mess is worth it!
- Roll each ball into sifted cocoa powder, tapping to remove excess. Refrigerate the truffles until ready to serve.

Easy 6-Step Strawberry Banana Ice Cream
Makes: 2 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, broken into pieces and frozen
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and frozen
Directions:
- Place the strawberries and banana chunks into the basin of a food processor
- Turn the food processor on high, and the fruit will begin to break up. It won’t look anything like ice cream at first
- Keep the food processor running, scraping down the sides if chunks get stuck, and after a few more minutes, the fruit chunks will get much smaller
- Eventually the mixture will start to come together—like making a dough
- Run the food processor for a few more seconds until you get the desired consistency. You have the option of a thicker, scoopable ice cream, or you can also keep it running for a softer, creamier end product
- Scoop into bowls and serve! Try topping it with a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut
