Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour or finely ground almonds
- 3/4 cup dessicated or finely shredded coconut
- 3 tbsp odorless coconut oil, melted
- Juice and 1/2 tsp zest of one lemon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract or paste
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- A pinch of salt
White Chocolate Coating:
- 100 g vegan or dairy-free white chocolate
- 2 tsp coconut oil (optional)
- Begin by placing the shredded coconut into a blender. Blend until it reaches a fine consistency similar to that of ground almonds.
- Transfer the ground coconut to a medium mixing bowl. Add the ground almonds and a pinch of salt, and stir to combine.
- Into this dry mixture, add the melted coconut oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture and roll into balls. Place these on a lined plate or tray that can fit into your freezer. Freeze these balls for a while to firm up.
- Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler (Bain Marie) or microwave, blending in the optional coconut oil for a smoother finish.
- Using a spoon and fork, dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring each is evenly coated. Place them back on the lined sheet.
- Once all balls are coated, refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Store the set bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge. If frozen, allow them to thaw slightly before serving.
Enjoy these exquisitely delicious Lemon Coconut Bliss Balls, a true treat that combines freshness, sweetness, and creamy indulgence in every bite!
