In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded unsweetened coconut, almond flour, powdered sugar, and lemon zest. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture comes together and resembles a dough-like consistency.
Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball.
Place the extra shredded coconut on a plate or shallow dish. Roll each ball in the coconut, ensuring an even coating around each one.
Repeat the process until all the dough has been used and your snowballs are fully coated.
Place the lemon coconut snowballs on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the snowballs for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
