Description
Lemon Coconut Truffles are a refreshing sweet treat made with coconut, almond flour, and a hint of lemon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Extra shredded coconut for rolling
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and a sticky dough forms.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape.
- Once chilled, use your hands to scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- Roll each truffle in extra shredded coconut to coat evenly.
- Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 15 minutes to set.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add 2 tablespoons of cashew butter to the mixture before chilling.
- For a chocolate twist, dip the truffles in melted dark chocolate after rolling in coconut.
