Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams vanilla wafer cookies
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 60 milliliters orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 50 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams desiccated coconut (for coating)
Instructions
Place the vanilla wafer cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into crumbs.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
Add the powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the crumbs.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until the mixture is cohesive and can be rolled into balls.
Using your hands, scoop a small portion of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and roll it into a smooth ball.
Place the desiccated coconut on a shallow plate. Roll each ball in the coconut to coat it evenly.
Repeat this process until all the mixture has been used.
Place the vanilla orange balls on a lined baking tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
