250gramscream cheesecubed (I use philadelphia original from the block)
250gramsof strawberriestops removed
1tablespoonlemon zest
2cupscoconut desiccated + ½ cup extra for rolling
optional: mykids loved these without sweetenerbut if yours don't- add a teaspoon of honey to the mix before rolling- I'd get them to try it first without though!
Instructions
Combine the cream cheese, strawberries, lemon zest and coconut in a food processor.
Blitz until the strawberries are chopped and through the cream cheese. It should be thick, not runny, imagine playdough consistency. Don't over process.
Roll teaspoonfuls into balls.
Roll the balls in the coconut.
Refrigerate.
Notes
These keep well for 3 days in the fridge but can also be frozen for up to a month. Defrost in the fridge overnight before putting in the lunchbox.**Optional: depending on your strawberries, they might not end up sweet enough. If that's the case, add a tablespoon of honey to the mix. My kids loved these without the honey, but we had super sweet strawberries.
