Ingredients
- 250 grams Vanilla wafers
- 120 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee powder
- 60 milliliters Kahlua
- 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
- 100 grams Chopped walnuts
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Place the vanilla wafers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Alternatively, place them in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, and chopped walnuts. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Kahlua and light corn syrup until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the Kahlua mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together. It should have a slightly sticky but moldable texture.
Step 5
Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and roll into balls using your hands.
Step 6
Place the granulated sugar in a shallow bowl or plate. Roll each ball in the sugar until evenly coated.
Step 7
Transfer the coated balls to an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Chill the Coffee Kahlua Balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
