No Bake Chocolate Lemon Dream Balls- Low Carb & PaleoPin

Delicious creamy chocolate Lemon Dream Balls are easy to make low carb & paleo treats that are raw and require no cooking.

I am officially addicted and obsessed with these raw, no-bake, vegan, chocolaty, lemony balls.

These treats can be made paleo or low carb & keto versions depending on the sweetener of choice that is used in the recipe.

Possibly the easiest and most yummy treat I've made yet.

Raw chocolate & lemon fat bombsPin

Simple ingredients in these, that you may already have in your kitchen. Best of all, no oven is required!

I know it sounds like an odd combination but dark chocolate and lemon are a flavor match made in heaven!

Give it a try and I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

Lemon is naturally low in carbs and has anti-cancer properties, and chocolate contains antioxidants, so now you have two more reasons to try it.

I also love these easy keto no-bake dessert recipes.

    Hi Stacy. I made these with almond extract in place of the lemon juice/zest. They are to die for!! I'm hoping you can help me with the measurement of almonds. Since you measure the almonds and then grind, it is different than just measuring almond meal, which came out a bit dry and I just pressed them into a pan. I could've added more CO but didn't feel like putting the whole thing back in the bowl and melting more. I'm just wondering if you have made these with pre ground meal. If not, I will just reduce the amt by maybe 1/4 cup and add a little more if necessary. Thanks.

      Hi Judith, thanks for the helpful feedback and the almond extract idea. Great flavor option! Usually it is pretty close to the same amount if your using almond meal, but if your using almond flour or finely ground almond meal then use a less because that may come out dry. 1/4 a cup less sounds about right.

        Why do you have to use slivered almonds instead of whole almonds?

          The slivered almonds are free of the almond skin and grind up smoother than whole almonds.

    I just made these and they are awesome!! I have to admit that I was skeptical because of the oiliness when rolling them but after they set, there was no greasy mouth feel. I uses almond meal and would not use almond flour because it is defatted a bit and the texture is too fine....but almond meal rocks in these. Thanks!

      Krista, yes you can use almond meal or flour in the same amount as the slivers. I use the Almond slivers to save money. Almond flour is pricey, unless I can get it on sale.

    Hello. I have a quick question. I've just started cooking with coconut oil. Do you use 3 tbsp solid or liquid coconut oil?

    Thank you.

      Hello AJ, melted in liquid form would be the easiest form to mix into this recipe. So if your oil is solid, then heat it, on medium low, in a sauce pan until just melted. I thought I included that info, but must have left it out. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I will update that right away.
      Sincerely,
      Stacey
