How to Prepare Raw Strawberry Crème Chocolate Truffles [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Add all the ingredients for the crème filling in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.
Put all the ingredients for the chocolate topping in a medium-sized bowl and stir until well combined.
Using a chocolate mold or ice cube tray, spoon a tablespoon of chocolate topping into each mold.
Add a tablespoon of the crème filling on top of the bottom chocolate layer (see notes).
Add another tablespoon of chocolate topping on top of the crème filling.
Put in the freezer for approximately 20 - 30 minutes or until hardened.
Remove and leave out on the counter for a few minutes before removing from the mold/ice cube tray and eating.
Keep in freezer until you are ready to eat because they will soften at room temperature.

Notes

If you want them to be "pretty" without the strawberry creme showing through the bottom and have a solid chocolate appearance on the exterior, follow these instructions: After you pour the bottom layer of chocolate, put them in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Then pour the strawberry creme center on top and put it back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until it hardens. Then pour the top layer of chocolate and return them to the freezer for another 10-15 minutes.
