Ingredients

  • 1.3 cups almond flour also called almond meal
  • 1 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.1 teaspoons ground turmeric optional — for golden color only
  • 0.3 cups pure honey or agave syrup for vegan version
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest from about 2 medium lemons
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups extra unsweetened shredded coconut for rolling

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to food processor: Add 1.3 cups almond flour (also called almond meal), 1 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 pinch salt, and 0.1 teaspoons ground turmeric (optional — for golden color only) (if using) to the bowl of a food processor. Then add 0.3 cups pure honey (or agave syrup for vegan version), 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest (from about 2 medium lemons), 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
  • Pulse until dough forms: Pulse the mixture in short bursts, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until everything comes together into a sticky, cohesive dough — about 15 to 20 pulses. Squeeze a small amount in your hand — it should hold together without crumbling.
  • Scoop & chill if needed: If the dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate for 15–20 minutes
  • before rolling. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough at a time using a small cookie scoop or a regular tablespoon.
  • Roll into balls: Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, round balls. The warmth of your hands helps soften the dough and makes shaping easier. Dampen your hands slightly with water if the dough sticks.
  • Coat in shredded coconut: Pour 0.5 cups extra unsweetened shredded coconut (for rolling) onto a flat plate. Roll each ball through the coconut, pressing gently so it sticks evenly to the surface all around.
  • Chill for 2 hours: Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined plate or small baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 120 minutes
  • until fully firm do not skip this step.
  • Store & serve: Once firm, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve cold straight from the fridge.
