Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut + 3 tablespoons for dipping
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced, about 1–2 tablespoons juice and all zest)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prep the lemon: Scald the lemon by pouring boiling water over it, then pat it dry. Zest the lemon carefully, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath the yellow skin. Next, juice the lemon to get about 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Combine ingredients: Place 1/2 cup shredded coconut, cashews, honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and all the lemon zest in a food processor. Process until the mixture becomes smooth and forms a dough-like consistency.
- Adjust texture: Check the dough texture. If it’s too sticky, add a little extra shredded coconut, almond flour, or protein powder to balance it. If it feels too dry, add more lemon juice or a splash of water to moisten.
- Form and coat balls: Place the remaining 3 tablespoons of shredded coconut in a shallow dish. Form the dough into balls approximately 1 to 1 ½ inches in diameter. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until fully coated.
- Chill: Place the coated lemon bliss balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy as a refreshing and healthy snack.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon for the best flavor; avoid bottled lemon juice if possible.
- If you want a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- For a nuttier texture, lightly toast the cashews before processing.
- Store the bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- These can be frozen for up to a month; thaw in the fridge before eating.
