Paleo Strawberry Men. This is a recipe inspired by Mosogourmet – a famous dessert channel on YouTube in Japan. These strawberry men are so darn cute that I couldn’t help but have to give it a try! I altered the original recipe and made it Paleo-friendly. If you have kids or nephews, this is a fun family project for the weekend. 🙂

If you are curious about where to get the mini melon baller, I got mine from Amazon in size 15mm. It should also work if you select one that’s between 10mm and 15mm.

If you want to know how to make these cute strawberry men, be sure to watch and share my 1-minute video below. Have fun and enjoy!
