Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Vanilla wafers
- 120 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee powder
- 60 milliliters Kahlua
- 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
- 100 grams Chopped walnuts
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Place the vanilla wafers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Alternatively, place them in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, and chopped walnuts. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Kahlua and light corn syrup until smooth.
Pour the Kahlua mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together. It should have a slightly sticky but moldable texture.
Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and roll into balls using your hands.
Place the granulated sugar in a shallow bowl or plate. Roll each ball in the sugar until evenly coated.
Transfer the coated balls to an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Chill the Coffee Kahlua Balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
