Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape.
  3. Once chilled, use your hands to scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
  4. Roll each truffle in extra shredded coconut to coat evenly.
  5. Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 15 minutes to set.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
