On the Keto diet, it is a rare treat to be able to indulge in sweets. We tried this recipe and we are in love with this rich lemony sweetness. Think “lemon coconut cheesecake bites!” These sweet and fresh bites have just the right balance of tart and richness. Just 1 or 2 of these morsels was enough to satisfy our sweet cravings! No baking is required and with only a few ingredients, they are quick and easy!
