# What You'll 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

# How to Make It:

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 all ingredients are fully incorporated and a cohesive dough forms.
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 to create an even coating on all sides.
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 serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No oven required, which means you can make these in a tiny apartment kitchen without breaking a sweat.
  • The citrus combo feels fancy but takes barely twenty minutes from bowl to fridge.
  • They look elegant on a dessert table yet come together with pantry staples you probably already have.
02 -
  • If the dough feels too wet to roll, add another tablespoon of almond flour and let it sit for five minutes before trying again.
  • The zest is where most of your flavor comes from, so grate only the colorful outer layer and avoid the bitter white pith underneath.
03 -
  • Lightly toast the coconut for rolling in a dry skillet until just golden and your bites will have a nutty complexity that guests cannot quite identify but love.
  • For infants under one year, swap the honey for agave syrup since honey is not recommended for babies that young.
