Lemon and Coconut Balls

When I was recently given a HUGE bag of lemons, I knew I had to make these no bake Lemon and Coconut Balls!

When a lovely friend asked if I would like a few lemons, I couldn’t resist saying yes.  What I wasn’t expecting was a HUGE bag that was practically bursting at the seams which was jam packed with freshly picked lemons.  I’ve since been on a lemon recipe spree and have made Lemon Delicious Pudding, Lemon Slice, Lemon Curd and several batches of these no bake Lemon and Coconut Balls as they don’t seem to last very long at all.

These Lemon and Coconut Balls are pretty much my favourite Lemon Slice recipe made into balls and rolled in coconut. They are seriously easy to make and I made a batch the morning of our little man’s 4th birthday party when I was quietly freaking out that we may not have enough food – I was definitely wrong about that!  You can make this easy recipe either conventionally or using a Thermomix and either method will take you less than 15 minutes to put together.  These Lemon and Coconut Balls only need an hour or so in the fridge to firm, although if you are super impatient, you can eat them soon after making them.
