Instructions
Strawberry Butter Truffles
Ingredients For the filling: 1 cup coconut butter, 1 cup sliced strawberries, 2 T maple syrup.
Ingredients For the chocolate: 1 cup dark chocolate chips or my 3 ingredient chocolate recipe, 3 T almond milk or milk of choice
Instructions: In a food processor, mix the filling ingredients together very well. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop small balls of the filling onto a lined baking sheet. If the filling seems to soft, stick it in the fridge for 15 minutes. Stick the baking sheet, with all the formed balls in the freezer to firm up. While the balls are firming up, melt the chocolate. Using a double boiler method, melt the chocolate chips and the milk. Stir constantly until all the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Working quickly, using two forks, roll the balls into the chocolate and place them back onto the lined baking sheet. Stick the finished balls back in the freezer to firm up. It should take about 30 to 60 minutes. These can be stored in the fridge or freezer. They should keep for a couple weeks in the fridge and a few months in the freezer. If you store them in the freezer, they may be slightly hard. They should be perfect after a minute or two though. Enjoy!

Ingredients Sauce: 1 bag (12 ounces) cranberries, fresh or frozen and thawed, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, 2/3 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
Cake: Heat oven to 325°F. Beat egg whites and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Increase speed to high. Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until whites form soft, glossy peaks. Beat in coconut butter and lemon juice. In another bowl, mix remaining 1/2 cup sugar with flour. Sift 1/2 sugar-flour mixture over egg whites; gently but thoroughly fold into batter using a large spatula. Repeat twice with remaining sugar-flour mixture. Fold in dry coconut in 2 batches. Scrape batter into an ungreased 10-inch angel food tube pan with a removable bottom. Smooth top into even layer. Bake 35 minutes or until top is lightly browned & cake springs back when you press it. Turn pan upside down & rest on the neck of a glass bottle to cool. Run a knife against insides of pan to loosen cake; remove pan. Loosen cake from bottom of pan; invert onto a plate. Cover with plastic wrap. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Sauce: Boil all ingredients in a medium saucepan 1 minute, until lightly thickened. Let cool. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour. Before serving, sprinkle top of cake with coconut shavings. Serve slices with 3 tablespoons sauce.
