I love easy recipes.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the blog. There’s an entire page devoted to this type of recipe: Over 100 healthy dessert recipes that can be made in 5 minutes or less.
So these chocolate strawberry bars are perfect for me: Just a few ingredients, and the recipe can be made in—you guessed it!—under 5 minutes.
They kind of remind me of Strawberry Klondike Bars… just more like fudge in the middle than ice cream.
(This also points out to me the fact that I currently have no Klondike recipe on my website. How can this be?! Must change soon! But I digress…)
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Fudge Bars
- 1/2 cup melted coconut butter
- 1 1/4 cup sliced strawberries (160g)
- just under 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon, optional
- 1 tbsp agave or pure maple syrup
- chocolate coating (see recipe instructions)
First blend just the berries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add the salt, cinnamon, coconut butter, and sweetener, and blend again until smooth. Smooth into a plastic container, and freeze until firm. Cut into bars or bites, and return to the freezer. (You can even insert popsicle sticks if desired.) You can either eat these bars plain OR cover them in melted chocolate chips or the following chocolate coating: Mix together equal parts cocoa powder, virgin coconut oil, and pure maple syrup until a thin sauce forms. Dip in the strawberry fudge, then immediately set back in the freezer to harden. Leftovers should be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Side Note:
I’m working on a personal post I’ve been thinking about publishing for a while now… some of you can probably already guess the topic.
Hopefully it will be up next! If you’re only interested in reading recipes, please rest assured they aren’t going anywhere. I’m also starting to plan the recipe theme weeks! So if you have any particular theme weeks you’d like to see, feel free to leave requests in the comments.

Looks so fresh and delicious! I want to steal some:) And as for me – I do like the way you writing and that sometimes you post not only recipes – for me it’s more about the person behind the scene and I’m glad to meet this person.
These look amazing! I have it on my to-do list to browse your recipes and make some this weekend 🙂 especially after my sweet tooth this week! I would love to read your post! It’s always nice to “know” the people you follow a bit ya know?
These look fabulous!! I can’t wait to try my hand at them! 🙂
Noooooooo! Please, please go back to having the entire post included in the email! My “filter” at work blocks any “social-media-related sites” (I teach high school) and it keeps the full pages from popping up whenever you click on the title of the link. Drives me nuts– please, please, pretty pretty PLEASE !!!!
Wish granted. It was fixed almost immediately after I got this morning’s email. I had changed some settings the day before but never intended for the emails to have been changed.
I just put up a ridiculously simple recipe and felt a bit silly doing it – until I remembered that on a regular day I’m far more likely to try simple recipes by other bloggers than complicated ones. Such as these. They look so cute and simple and utterly delectable. Its only the dipping part I’d struggle with xP
Can’t wait to try this over the weekend. I have a whole bottle of Artisana coconut butter and a basket of strawberries sitting around. This sounds and looks delicious.
Do these need to stay in the freezer? Or just to set and then can leave them out?
I believe you will need to leave them in the fridge or freezer as the coconut butter will melt when left out
Your blog is beautiful, Katie! I look forward to read your personal post. I would also LOVE it if you had a ‘raw’ week, where you only shared with us raw recipes 🙂
I have some Earth Balance coconut oil peanut butter that I think would be yummy for this. Could I use that instead of coconut butter and would the measurement be the same?
I’ve never tried, so I really can’t say. You can experiment! 🙂
Always looking forward reading your personal posts, they are so nice to read! Is it somehow linked to the light re-styling your blog has recently undergone? If I can be honest I liked the old one better (reading the newest post in the homepage > having to click to go to an other one), but I guess it is to “maximise” you pageview, so if it will allow you to profit a bit more from your hard work, I’m honestly not gonna complain! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe btw, also because easy recipes -> less dishes to wash afterwards 😛
Still in the process of redesigning, so things will not stay exactly like this! 🙂
This looks amazing! Agreed on simple vegan desserts, they’re fabulous!
Not to be a party pooper, but I actually don’t like the taste of coconut… is there something I can sub in the place of the coconut butter? These look really delicious and I’d love to try them bur I don’t know enough about the consistency/behavior of coconut butter in a recipe to figure out how to sub it myself.
haha, “but” not “bur” oops
Don’t worry, I’ve been pooping parties (and my own) because of my hate for coconut! I always want to buy a vegan cheesecake, but alas….the tastebuds always win.
I’m guessing you could use cashew or almond butter, but I’m not the creator of the recipe! 🙂
Maybe a nut butter like cashew butter? Since cashew butter doesn’t solidify when cold, I would add a bit of coconut oil as well. If you don’t like the taste of coconut, you can get the neutral tasting coconut oil.
This is MUCH more innovative, so screw the Klondike! I don’t even think I’d coat it in chocolate; the straight-up strawberry sounds so refreshing even in these colder than usual summer days we’ve got going on.
I’m super pumped for this “theme week” business! I’m down for any theme, but I’m secretly hoping for a “remake” week, such as recreating candy bars and such.
Looks so awesome and so delicious. I do love strawberries and chocolates. Nice to know they are one. Looking forward for more interesting recipes.
How about a week with the theme “Copycat Recipes”? How to make favorite unhealthy commercial treats the CCK way!
I’d personally love to see a breakfast recipe theme week!
