Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened), for coating
- 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Measure out cream cheese and let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes until soft. Juice your lemon (2–3 tbsp). Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Add lemon juice and graham cracker crumbs. Beat or stir until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and scoopable.
- Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture (about 1 tbsp per bite). Roll between your palms to form round balls.
- Place shredded coconut in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Roll each cheesecake ball in coconut until fully coated.
- Arrange the bites on your lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set, or up to 2 hours for firmer bites. Freeze for 10 minutes if in a rush.
- Serve straight from the fridge. Enjoy the creamy, zesty lemon flavor and chewy coconut coating.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. For extra lemon flavor, add lemon zest. If mixture is too soft, add more graham crumbs or chill before shaping. Bites can be made vegan with plant-based cream cheese and sugar substitute. Store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
