Ingredients

8 Golden Oreos

1/2 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries

1/4 cup (or more) coconut flour, plus extra as needed

1/4 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries

3 tablespoons (or more) whole milk plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons almond, cashew, or other nut butter

2 tablespoons heavy cream

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 cup (or more) whole milk plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup (or more) coconut flour

1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Step 1: Place the Golden Oreos in a large resealable plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, crush them into fine crumbs.

Step 2: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a shallow dish. Add the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and mix until evenly combined. Cover the dish with plastic wrap to prevent the strawberry powder from clumping.

Step 3: For the inner strawberry layer, combine coconut flour, freeze-dried strawberries, Greek yogurt, nut butter, heavy cream, and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Mix until a moist dough forms that holds together when pressed. Adjust texture by adding more cream if too dry or more flour if too wet.

Step 4: Using a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon, portion out the dough and roll into small balls. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap.

Step 5: For the outer white layer, mix Greek yogurt, coconut flour, vanilla protein powder, and heavy cream in a medium bowl until smooth. The dough should be moist enough to hold together; add more yogurt if too dry or more flour if too wet.

Step 6: Using a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon, portion the white dough and arrange on a separate parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7: Flatten one portion of the white dough in your palm, place a ball of the red dough in the center, then wrap and roll the white dough around it, sealing completely. Roll each bite in the strawberry-Oreo crunch coating until fully covered.

Step 8: Place the finished bites on a clean parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 3 hours or up to 1 day.

Tips & Variations

Swap vanilla protein powder for chocolate or plain to change the flavor profile.

If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and heavy cream with coconut cream.

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.

For extra crunch, try adding chopped nuts to the strawberry layer.

FAQs

Can I use regular strawberries instead of freeze-dried?

Freeze-dried strawberries are best for this recipe as they add flavor without extra moisture. Regular strawberries will make the dough too wet and difficult to shape.
