Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut flakes unsweetened
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1 cup almond flour or almond meal
  • 2 lemons juiced and tested
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons water
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Add the coconut flakes to a food processor. Blend for a minute or two until the coconut is finely shredded. Remove 1/4 if the coconut and place on a plate for later.
  • To the food processor, add the cashews, almond flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of water, agave syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix for a few minutes until the batter becomes a thick paste, you should be able to roll the mix into a ball with your hands. If it is too dry and cannot be rolled by hand, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of water and blend again. If it is still too dry, add an additional tablespoon of water.
  • Roll about 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball in your hands, then roll in the finely shredded coconut to cover. Repeat until the remaining lemon mix is gone. Freeze bites, and enjoy for a quick treat any time!
