RecipesQuick Lemon Coconut Candy (No Bake)
Mix the first 4-5 ingredients together until well mixed and smooth. Form into balls, roll them in the coconut flakes and refrigerate or freeze. You can also put them in candy molds without the coconut flakes to get a different look. They will harden when refrigerated. Recipe submitted by Alice, Las Crescenta, CA
How many does this make?

these little guys are the easiest, most delicious, addictive bites I've had in a long, long time. I use half the amount of honey for myself & they're scrumptous. thanx for sharing

I cannot have honey - is it essential to hold the candy together or can another sweetener (stevia, splenda) be used in place of the honey?

Try brown rice syrup and sweeten it up a bit with sugar or stevia since it's not as sweet as honey.

I just made a batch of these yesterday and they are sooooo good!
I did modify it a bit though. ;) First, I juiced 2 lemons, and used a generous teaspoon of zest. Since the mixture was too "batter like" I added a couple spoonfuls of coconut oil in. Then I stuck the bowl in the freezer to firm up a bit, stirring every now and then to prevent clumping. Once it reached the desired consistency, I used a cookie scoop to make balls and skipped the rolling in coconut part. And oh, just a tip: warm the ccc to peanut butter consistency before you make this. Well, these little bites just melt. in. your. mouth. and were wonderfully tart and lemony, blending beautifully with the creamy coconut. With a scant 1/2 cupful of honey they were perfect. Even if you think you don't like coconut but love lemon, make these. They're quick and easy and make the perfect snack. Yum! Btw, I got about 15 balls, fyi.

My daughter used this recipe as a filling for a gluten-free "cheesecake" for Mother's Day. It was absolutely delicious, I savored every last bite! Thank you for sharing, this is a new family favorite!

I made this today - I made tiny balls and even rolled some into tootsie-roll shapes.
They are incredible. Making them tiny like that, they filled a cookie sheet. I was worried about it not thickening up, I put the "soup" in my fridge for maybe 5-10 minutes, but in the end, the more I stirred it, the more it thickened! Oh, and I used shredded coconut, I thought it worked a bit better than the flakes. I tried the flakes, but I was making them small, so shredded was a better match. I'm thinking of making them with limes next!!!! :)

Will this work with just regular coconut cream?

Like the cream of coconut (milk)? No. Coconut Cream Concentrate is totally different. Coconut Cream Concentrate's consistency is a lot like peanut butter.

I just made a batch of this and covered some fresh strawberries with the "batter", then sprinkled them with coconut and stuck them in the fridge. I think they're better than chocolate-covered strawberries! :D Thank you so much for posting all of these wonderful recipes!

I added the zest and juice of a key lime as well: very awesome!!! The lime was about the size of a small bouncy ball.

Do these need to be served cool, straight out of the refrigerator, or will the stay set? I am thinking about giving them as a Christmas gift.

Molly: The balls will stay firm for a hour or more depending on what temperature the room is but you can also freeze them so that they stay cold longer at room temp. But generally yes, they need to be served cold.

These are delicious. I also added lemon zest and they were nice and lemony. Took it a step further and chopped up and melted some Trader Joe's Pound Plus Bittersweet Chocolate and added a little coconut oil for stability. They taste great smothered in chocolate!

Is there anything that you can use as a substitute for the coconut cream concentrate?

Angie: There is no substitute for coconut cream concentrate.

This candy is really good. I like to add more lemon juice, as I like a stronger lemon flavor. It's rich so you don't need much of it, and it uses honey, not sugar! Thanks for sharing!

These are a Home Run! They have a wonderful, delicate flavor and texture, not bland in the least. I did add some lemon extract to mine as my lemon was smaller than I liked.
Adding cream cheese to this and using as a filling for cheesecake would be divine. No cook cheesecake! For nut lovers, I think this dough formed around a macadamia nut would be wonderful- the macadamia would match the smooth, rich flavor of the candy. I also love that this is a healthy-ish candy. All the coconut parts are great for you, lemon wakes up the liver and raw honey is chock full of enzymes and goodies. A+++

u didnt use coconut flakes in video..do we use them in the batter or only if we want to roll them to them??
# Posted By pete
| 1/11/12 5:13 AM
pete: You can use it any way you want.
demi: There's no substitute for Coconut Cream Concentrate; it's completely different from coconut milk or cream. It's more like peanut butter in texture. You can get it from Tropical Traditions by clicking on the hyperlink.
# Posted By Sarah:)

demi: perhaps in Greece it's called coconut butter? It goes by several names depending on the manufacturer. Coconut butter, cream of coconut and coconut cream concentrate are all names I've found it by. Good luck.

well i read online and i didnt know that coconut cream concentrated is the same as coconut cream ,almost and that it is 100% coconut not water.my coconut milk contains 55% water....so i guess its not coconut cream exactly??it is thick though.should i use other type of coconut milk or should i dilute it with some water before use?also i have coconut oil which by cold gets solid.but i guess thats not coconut butter??i am so confused of all these!!!!!

Coconut Cream Concentrate (sometimes called Coconut Butter) is a ground up coconut product. It's similar to peanut butter, except it's coconut.
Coconut Milk is a water based product extracted from coconut. There's many variations, but as long as it's a liquid, it's a type of coconut milk and cannot be substituted for Coconut Cream Concentrate. Coconut Oil is an oil/fat product. Not coconut butter. Again, if you want to learn more about the coconut products listed in recipes, just follow the link and it'll take you to the product information and ordering page.
