Delicious, chewy, sweet keto lemon coconut balls of heavenly bliss..
These Lemon Coconut Balls are the perfect thing to curb any candy craving.
Just be sure to hide them from friends and family…
..because even non-keto people will be asking you for the recipe!
The base of these lemon coconut balls is made up of cream cheese and almond flour.
I used this base for a lot of my keto no-bake ball recipes because it makes for a dough that's still soft yet decently easy to handle and roll into balls.
I also added coconut because I don't know about you, but I feel like it makes everything better!
My family has always been a huge fan of coconut desserts. These were no exception.
You can either use desiccated or regular shredded coconut for this recipe.

Ingredient in Keto No Bake Lemon Coconut Balls
Truvia and Splenda – I have now switched over to only using a monkfruit/erythritol blend sweetener in all of my recipes since originally writing this post.
I MUCH prefer the taste and affect it has on the body.
I use the SoNourished brand for both granular and powdered sweetener and love it!
(For my Canadian friends, you can purchase monkfruit/erythritol sweetener HERE)
Almond Flour – I use the Kirkland Costco brand of almond flour (I buy it in bulk on Amazon or at Costco itself occasionally) for this recipe.
As I’ve noted in many of my past recipes, the brand of almond can affect the final outcome of the recipe because absorbency can vary depending on how the flour has been processed.
