After the Piña Colada Smoothie I made the other day I was tempted to name these Coconut Lemon Bliss Balls - Piña Colada Bliss Balls as they actually taste just like it! It must be the touch of lime that makes it taste super tropical and of course the coconut! Since the weather is becoming warmer I thought these are the perfect light snack or indulgence to brighten up your day or curb that mid-day lull.
These are super light, taste refreshing, and almost make you feel like you are laying on a beach somewhere in a tropical location. Close your eyes and let these bliss balls take you away! You will love these if you like coconut, lime, and a touch of sweetness!
Ingredients:
1 cup of shredded coconut
1 cup of blanched almond flour
Juice of 1 medium sized-lemon
Zest of 1 lime
2 Tbsps of coconut oil (melted and cooled)
2 Tbsps of maple syrup
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of shredded coconut for rolling balls and lemon zest
Directions:
Place the coconut and almond flour in a bowl and mix together. In a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients: lemon juice, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and sprinkle in the zest of lime. Use a spoon at first to combine the ingredients. Once well combined use your hands to form little balls and then roll in the shredded coconut. Top with zest of lemon and place in a glass container to set in the fridge. You can also freeze these and they will last longer!
Enjoy your tropical getaway with these Coconut Lemon Bliss Balls aka Piña Colada Bliss Balls!
