Ingredients:
1 cup pistachio nuts1 tsp lemon zest

Lemon pistachio bliss balls are a delightful and nutritious snack that combines the zesty flavor of lemon with the rich, nutty taste of pistachios. These small bites are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while providing a healthy dose of energy. They're quick to prepare and require no baking, making them an excellent option for a guilt-free treat.
Instructions:
- Place the pistachio nuts in a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Pulse until they are finely chopped, but not completely powdered. You want some small chunks for texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, lemon zest, coconut flour, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Stir these ingredients until they are evenly distributed.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter and honey.
- Warm the mixture in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make it easier to mix.
- Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the warmed almond butter and honey, and mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Stir them together until a thick dough forms. You may need to use your hands as the mixture can be quite thick.
- Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls using the palms of your hands.
- If the mixture is too dry and falls apart, add a small amount of water or extra lemon juice, a little at a time, until it sticks together.
- For firmer bliss balls, place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your Lemon Pistachio Bliss Balls as a snack or dessert.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips:
- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a consistent texture.
- Finely chop or pulse the pistachios in a food processor for a smoother texture in the bliss balls.
- If the mixture is too dry to hold together, add a bit more almond butter or honey to help bind the ingredients.
- For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider adding an additional 1/2 tsp of lemon zest.
- Roll the bliss balls in shredded coconut or finely chopped pistachios for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
Enjoy your homemade lemon pistachio bliss balls as a healthy snack anytime you need a boost of energy. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
