- 2 cups strawberries (finely chopped) Fresh strawberries can be substituted with your favorite berries.
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp honey Feel free to adjust sweetness to your taste.
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil Using coconut oil aids in achieving a smooth chocolate consistency.

Chocolate Coating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip each frozen medallion into the melted chocolate until fully coated, then place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze again for about 10-15 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
- When ready to serve, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften a bit.
Notes
