Tips and Tricks
Chilling: Ensure the mixture is well-chilled before rolling into truffles to make the process easier.
Zesting Lemons: Use a microplane grater to zest the lemons finely without getting the bitter white pith.
Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness according to your taste, keeping in mind the tartness of the lemon.
Coating Options: Roll the truffles in coconut flour, finely ground nuts, or extra sweetener for a variety of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
For the Truffles:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Coating:
Extra shredded coconut or almond flour
Additional sweetener (optional)

Instructions
Prepare the Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the erythritol, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the almond flour, coconut flour, and shredded coconut. Mix until the dough comes together.
Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
Form the Truffles:
Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms.
Coat the Truffles:
Roll each truffle in your choice of coating, such as additional shredded coconut, almond flour, or a mixture of sweetener and coconut flour.
Chill Again:
Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another hour to set.
Storage Methods
Refrigeration: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Freezing: Freeze the truffles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Variations
Citrus Blend: Use a combination of lemon and lime zest and juice for a different citrus flavor.
Nutty Coating: Roll the truffles in finely chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds for added crunch.
Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the truffles with melted keto-friendly chocolate for an extra layer of indulgence.
Berry Infusion: Add a few freeze-dried raspberries to the mixture for a lemon-berry twist.
