Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond flour

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Extra shredded coconut for rolling (optional)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, and powdered erythritol. Stir thoroughly to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

    Pour in the melted coconut oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, forming a sticky dough.

      With clean hands, take about 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball. Continue this process until all the mixture is shaped into balls, placing them on a clean surface as you go.

        If you prefer, roll each ball in extra shredded coconut to create a deliciously textured exterior and enhance the coconut flavor.

          Arrange the coconut balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a serving plate to keep them from sticking.

            Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and develop their flavors.

              Once chilled, serve immediately and enjoy these refreshing no-bake keto lemon coconut balls!

                  - Presentation Tips: For an elegant touch, serve the balls in a decorative dish, optionally garnishing with thin lemon slices or additional shredded coconut around the edges.
