Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it reaches a gentle simmer, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Quickly stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix until they melt completely and achieve a smooth texture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, blend the crushed graham crackers, sweetened shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients until evenly combined.
  5. Refrigerate the combined mixture for 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Once firm, scoop out portions and roll them into bite-sized balls.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  8. Carefully dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, coating thoroughly.
  9. While the white chocolate is still wet, decorate each truffle with fresh blueberries and diced strawberries.
  10. Refrigerate the decorated truffles for an additional 30 minutes to set completely.
