FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I substitute mascarpone with another cheese?
Yes, you can use well-drained ricotta, cream cheese (like Philadelphia), or a plant-based version for a dairy-free alternative. The result will be slightly different but still creamy.
Can I freeze homemade truffles?
Yes. Place them on a tray to freeze separately, then transfer them to a container. They keep for up to a month. Before serving, let them thaw in the fridge.
Is there a vegan version of this recipe?
Sure. You can replace mascarpone with thick plant-based yogurt or cashew cream and use cane sugar or agave syrup. Make sure all ingredients are vegan.
Are strawberry truffles suitable for children?
Yes. They contain no alcohol or dangerous ingredients. They are soft, fresh, and perfect as a treat even for the little ones.
How to prevent truffles from being too soft?
Make sure the strawberries do not release too much water and, if necessary, add a bit more coconut flour to dry the mixture. Resting in the fridge helps firm them up.
