Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Dessert

Time 8h10m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces vanilla wafer cookies (finely crushed)
1 cup confectioners' sugar (plus more for coating)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate (thawed)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecans (chopped)
1/2 sifted confectioners' sugar (or shredded coconut for coating)

Steps:

  • Combine the vanilla wafer cookie crumbs and 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the butter to the crumb mixture and blend in well.
  • Stir in the thawed orange juice concentrate; add vanilla and nuts. Mix with your hands until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • With your hands, shape the mixture into balls about the size of walnuts. Place the prepared balls in a food storage bag with the sifted confectioners' sugar or shredded coconut. Shake the balls around so that the sugar (or coconut) sticks to the balls. You may want to do just a few at a time to prevent overcrowding which could impact the shape of the balls.
  • Remove the balls from the bag and arrange the orange balls in single layer on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Store them uncovered overnight in the refrigerator for the best flavor. If you like making easy or no-bake desserts, try chocolate bourbon truffles or big batch no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies .

Tips for Making Orange Balls:

- Choose ripe and juicy oranges for the best flavor. - Use fresh orange juice instead of bottled juice for a more intense orange flavor. - Grated orange zest adds a lovely citrusy aroma and flavor to the orange balls. - Make sure to drain the orange segments well to avoid excess moisture in the mixture. - Use a food processor to finely chop the orange segments for a smooth and even texture. - Chill the orange mixture for at least 30 minutes before rolling into balls to make the process easier. - Coat the orange balls in crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or chocolate sprinkles for added texture and flavor. - If the orange mixture is too wet, add more bread crumbs or crushed biscuits to absorb the excess moisture. - Store the orange balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. ###
