Citrus Bliss Bites For Baby Showers (Printable)

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

# What You 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 Steps:

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 a cohesive dough forms and all ingredients are well incorporated.
03 - Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, 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 to the touch.
06 - Transfer to a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These come together faster than you can set a party table and disappear even faster.
  • No oven required, which means your kitchen stays cool and your stress stays low.
  • The citrus brightness cuts through rich party food perfectly, making them a refreshing palate cleanser between courses.
02 -
  • If the dough feels too wet to roll, sprinkle in extra almond flour one tablespoon at a time until it cooperates.
  • Chilling is not optional because warm dough will flatten and stick to everything it touches.
  • Toasting the coconut before mixing adds a nuttier depth, but watch it carefully because coconut moves from golden to burnt in seconds.
03 -
  • Wet your hands slightly before rolling to prevent the dough from sticking to your palms and driving you quietly mad.
  • Double the batch because twenty four bites sounds generous until people start eating them.
