Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Vanilla wafers
- 200 grams Powdered sugar
- 120 milliliters Orange juice concentrate
- 50 milliliters Orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 100 grams Sweetened shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the vanilla wafers until finely ground. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
Add the powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice concentrate, and orange liqueur to the bowl. Stir to mix evenly.
Pour in the melted butter and mix until the dough starts to come together. The mixture should be moist but not overly sticky.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
If desired, roll each ball in shredded coconut to coat the outside.
Place the finished orange balls onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy responsibly!
