Coconut Strawberry Valentine Sweets

Cream cheese and almond meal are the base of these soft bite-size truffles.
Superb for those that do not enjoy chocolate-based treats, but still want that hit on their sweet palate.
Exquisite bites for the lover of coconut.
To Make:
Combine all ingredients except the almond meal and the second measurement of powdered sugar in a bowl and mix well.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until thickened.
Mix in the almond meal and extra powdered sugar.
Place spoonfuls of the mixture into a bowl of powdered sugar and form into small balls by patting them into shape and rolling gently in the powdered sugar.
Place the balls on a powdered sugar-covered platter... using a sieve sprinkle more on tops.
Add some heart-shaped sprinkles.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
