Step 1

PREP: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and zest the peel of your lemon. Slice lemon in half, then juice. Measure out 1 Tbsp of zest and 3 Tbsp of juice and set aside. Melt coconut oil in a small ramekin in the microwave.

Step 2

Add all ingredients to a large food processor. Pulse until a mixture forms - it should resemble the consistency of cookie dough.

Step 3

Scoop a small amount of the mixture into your hands and roll into balls.

Step 4

If you'd like to coat the balls with coconut, place more desiccated coconut in a small plate. Roll each ball until covered in coconut.

Step 5

Place balls onto lined baking sheet and repeat until all mixture is used up. Depending on the size, this recipe as written will make about 12 balls.

Step 6

Place balls in the freezer for about 1 hour to firm up. See notes for additional storage tips!
