Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Start by placing the pitted Medjool dates into a food processor along with lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
- Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If using almond flour, add it to the mixture and pulse again until incorporated.
- Once the mixture has reached a sticky, dough-like consistency, scoop out small amounts (about 20 g each) to shape into bite-sized balls.
- Roll each ball in shredded coconut until fully coated. If you desire a bit of extra texture, feel free to add chopped nuts to the coconut before rolling.
- Place the coated candy bites on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Once chilled, serve these zesty delights on a platter, garnished with a sprinkle of extra coconut flakes or a slice of lemon if desired.
