Time 5m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 sugar cube
1 fluid ounce hot water
¾ cup coffee
1 fluid ounce coffee-flavored liqueur
1 tablespoon whipped cream

Steps:

  • Pour sugar and hot water into a coffee mug. Stir in the coffee and liqueur, and then spoon whipped cream gently on top of the coffee.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coffee. Stale coffee will not produce as flavorful a coffee ball.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the coffee balls tough.
  • Chill the dough before shaping. This will help the coffee balls hold their shape better.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the coffee balls so they can bake evenly.
  • Bake the coffee balls until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the coffee balls cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Mexican coffee balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover coffee, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain, rolled in cinnamon sugar, or dipped in chocolate, Mexican coffee balls are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these coffee balls a try.
