Directions
1. To make the lemon coconut cheesecake blossoms: Allow the cream cheese and coconut oil (or butter) to sit at room temperature to soften.
2. Combine all ingredients for the cheesecake blossoms except shredded coconut in a bowl until a thick dough forms. Refrigerate for 10 minutes in the freezer.
3. In the meantime, sift shredded coconut and 1 teaspoon sweetener in a shallow plate. Remove the coconut cheesecake dough from the freezer. Roll the dough into one inch balls. Roll each cream cheese coconut balls in shredded coconut then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press a chocolate kiss into the center of each lemon coconut cheesecake balls – slight cracks are fine.
4. Refrigerate the lemon coconut cheesecake blossoms for 10 to 30 minutes, or until ready to serve. Enjoy!
