Citrus Bliss Bites For Baby Showers (Printable)

Refreshing no-bake citrus treats with almond flour and coconut. Naturally sweetened, bursting with orange and lemon zest. Perfect for celebrations.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup almond flour
02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

→ Wet Ingredients

03 - 1/3 cup honey (or agave syrup for vegan)
04 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
05 - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
06 - 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
07 - 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

→ Optional Coating

08 - 1/4 cup finely shredded coconut for rolling

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour and shredded coconut until evenly blended.
02 - Add the honey, orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, and lemon zest to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
03 - Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion the dough and roll into uniform 1-inch balls.
04 - Roll each ball in finely shredded coconut, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly across the surface.
05 - Arrange the coated bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until firm.
06 - Serve chilled or allow to come to room temperature before presenting at your gathering.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No oven required, which means you can make these in a tiny kitchen or even at someone elses house without taking over their appliances.
  • The citrus combo of orange and lemon makes them taste like grown up candy, but they are wholesome enough that you will feel good serving them to everyone.
  • They look fancy on a platter but take almost zero effort, which is the best kind of party food trick I know.
02 -
  • If your dough feels too wet to roll, add another tablespoon of almond flour and wait a minute before trying again.
  • Toasting the coconut before mixing adds a deep, nutty warmth that raw coconut simply cannot match.
03 -
  • Grate the zest before you juice the fruit because a squeezed citrus half is frustrating to zest and you will get half the yield.
  • Wet your hands slightly before rolling to keep the dough from sticking to your palms without adding extra flour.
