Equipment
- Food processor (optional)
- Rolling Pin (optional)
- Food chopper (optional)
- Cookie scoop (optional)
- Ice cream scoop (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla wafers 11 ounces
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 can frozen orange juice concentrate 6 ounces - thawed at room temperature
- 2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- With your hands, crush the vanilla wafers in a zip lock bag or use a food processor. You can also use a rolling pin.
- Put the crushed vanilla wafers into a mixing bowl with the powdered sugar and the finely chopped pecans. Mix well.
- Add the thawed orange juice concentrate. Mix all of the ingredients well to form a sticky orange ball mixture.
- With the palms of your hands (or a cookie scooper) make balls out of the sticky orange ball mixture.
- Fill the bottom of a pie pan (or whatever you prefer to use) with the coconut flakes.
- Roll the orange balls in the coconut flakes.
- Put the orange balls in a sealed air-tight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For those who don't like coconut, you can roll half of the orange ball mixture in coconut, and half in powdered sugar.
Notes
- You can roll the orange balls in any extra finely chopped pecans if you don't want to roll them in coconut or powdered sugar.
- Store any leftover orange balls in the refrigerator for about 3 or 4 days, or put them in a sealed container in the freezer for about 3 to 4 months.
