Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus more for rolling)
  • 1 cup pitted dates (packed)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from approx. 1 large lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2–4 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: Add raw cashews, shredded coconut, pitted dates, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of water into a food processor. Process the ingredients until they are broken down and form a sticky, well combined dough-like mixture. If the mixture seems too dry and crumbly, add more water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  2. Form the balls: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out the mixture and roll it into small balls. Place each lemon bliss ball onto a plate, baking sheet, or parchment paper. Continue this process until all the mixture is used, yielding approximately 22 lemon bliss balls.
  3. Optional coating: For an extra layer of texture and flavor, roll each lemon bliss ball in additional shredded coconut by spreading the coconut on a shallow dish and gently rolling each ball over it until fully coated.
  4. Chill and serve: Place the bliss balls in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to help them firm up and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Store the lemon bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • They can be frozen for up to three months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • If dates are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before processing to soften.
  • Adjust the lemon zest and juice to taste for stronger or milder citrus flavor.
  • These bliss balls can be made nut-free by substituting cashews with sunflower seeds if desired.
