orange blossom balls

Ingredients

• 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
• 1 cup ground almonds (or almond meal)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• Zest of 1 orange
• 3 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tbsp orange blossom water (adjust to taste)
• Extra powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, ground almonds, and powdered sugar. Stir until evenly combined.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the orange zest, orange juice, and orange blossom water to the dry mixture. Stir well until the mixture is moist and holds together when pressed.
3. Form Balls: Take a small amount of the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.
4. Coat: Roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat. For a lighter coating, dust off any excess.
5. Chill: Place the balls on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps them firm up and enhances the flavor.
6. Serve: Enjoy chilled, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
