Citrus Bliss Bites For Baby Showers (Printer-friendly)

Bright, tangy no-bake citrus treats naturally sweetened with honey and fresh orange and lemon zest. Perfect bite-sized delights for festive gatherings.

# 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
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

# How To Make It:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
02 - Add the honey, orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, and lemon zest to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and a cohesive dough forms.
03 - Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll into uniform 1-inch balls.
04 - Roll each ball in the finely shredded coconut, gently pressing to ensure an even coating adheres to 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 serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in under twenty minutes with zero oven time, which means you can make them the morning of any event without breaking a sweat.
  • The citrus flavor is bright enough to feel special but gentle enough that even kids gravitate toward them.
02 -
  • If your dough feels too wet to roll, sprinkle in another tablespoon of almond flour until it cooperates, because humidity and juice size can really throw off the balance.
  • Toasting the coconut before using it for the coating adds a nuttier depth that transforms the whole flavor profile with almost no extra effort.
03 -
  • Use a microplane for zesting because the finer the grate the more oils you release and the more flavor ends up in every single bite.
  • Wet your hands slightly before rolling to keep the dough from sticking to your palms and to get a smoother, rounder shape.
