For the Base

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Replace with vegan cream cheese for dairy-free option
  • 1 cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries Fresh strawberries can be swapped but may alter texture
  • 1/4 cup Honey or Maple Syrup Agave nectar is a great alternative
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Consider using pure vanilla bean paste for richer taste
For Adjusting Consistency
  • 2 tbsp Milk Any milk, including dairy-free options, works perfectly

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, and vanilla protein powder. Blend until well-mixed, ensuring there are no clumps.
  2. Add softened cream cheese, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture forms a cohesive dough.
  3. If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, slowly add 1–2 tablespoons of milk until the mixture is smooth and moldable.
  4. Take small portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and firm up the balls.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is softened for smoother mixing. Adjust consistency with milk if necessary. For added crunch, consider rolling the balls in crushed nuts or coconut.
