Citrus Bliss Bites For Baby Showers (Printer-Friendly)

Refreshing no-bake citrus treats with honey, orange, and lemon. Perfect bite-sized bliss for festive 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 Steps:

01 - In a medium 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 fully 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 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 - Serve chilled or allow to come to room temperature before serving.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • No oven required, which means you can make these while your kitchen is already chaos from other party prep.
  • The citrus combo of orange and lemon makes them taste like sunshine in bite form, and guests always assume they took far more effort than they actually did.
02 -
  • If your dough feels too crumbly to roll, add another half teaspoon of juice or honey until it comes together. The moisture in honey varies by brand, so trust your hands over the recipe.
  • Chilling is not optional. The bites will be delicate and sticky at room temperature before they have set.
03 -
  • Wet your hands slightly before rolling to prevent sticking and keep the balls smooth rather than ragged.
  • A microplane is the single most important tool here because the zest needs to be nearly powdery to blend seamlessly into the dough.
