Method
- In a food processor, blend pitted Medjool dates, lemon zest, almond flour, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until the mixture is sticky and well combined. Scrape the sides as needed.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Using your hands, form small balls, approximately 2.5 cm in diameter, from the date mixture and place them on the lined tray.
- Once all balls are shaped, roll them in shredded coconut until fully coated.
- Refrigerate the candy bites for 30 minutes to firm up, enhancing their texture.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with a sprinkle of lemon zest for an added touch of freshness.
