Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)
  • 3/4 cup fine almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 3–4 tablespoons powdered erythritol or allulose (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil, softened
  • 3 tablespoons full-fat coconut cream (from a chilled can)
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest (preferably organic)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract for extra punch
  • Optional: 1–2 tablespoons chia seeds or hemp hearts for texture

Method
 

  1. Pulse the dry ingredients. In a food processor, add shredded coconut, almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Pulse a few times to combine and lightly break down the coconut for a smoother texture.
  2. Add the wet ingredients. Add softened butter or coconut oil, coconut cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. If using lemon extract, add it now. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick, slightly sticky dough that holds when pressed.
  3. Adjust texture. If it’s too dry and crumbly, add 1 teaspoon of coconut cream at a time. If it’s too wet, sprinkle in an extra teaspoon of coconut flour and pulse again. The dough should be pliable, not greasy.
  4. Chill briefly. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and chill for 10–15 minutes. This firms the fats and makes rolling easier.
  5. Roll into balls. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion. Roll between your palms into 1-inch balls.
  6. Coat with coconut. Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut (or a mix of coconut and lemon zest) for a pretty finish and extra texture.
  7. Set and serve. Chill for at least 20 minutes to set. Enjoy straight from the fridge for the best texture and flavor.
