Citrus Bliss Bites for Baby Showers (Printable Version)

Refreshing no-bake citrus treats with almond flour, honey, and fresh orange and lemon zest. Perfect bite-sized goodness for celebrations.

# 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:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 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 fully 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, 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 - Transfer to a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No oven required, which means you can make these while your kitchen is already full of other party prep.
  • The citrus zest makes them taste far more sophisticated than the ten minutes of actual effort would suggest.
02 -
  • If the dough feels too wet to roll, sprinkle in another tablespoon of almond flour and wait a minute before trying again.
  • Chilling them for the full fifteen minutes is non negotiable because skipping this step means they will flatten and stick to your serving plate.
03 -
  • Lightly wet hands prevent sticking better than flouring them, which can make the dough too dry and crumbly.
  • Zest the citrus before juicing it because a hollowed out fruit is frustrating and nearly impossible to grate properly.
