Ingredients for Amaretto Balls
How to Make Amaretto Balls
- Crush 1 cup of pecans and 1 cup of wafers separately using a food processor until you have 2 cups of each.
- Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the food processor bowl with the crushed pecans and wafers.
- Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of amaretto liqueur while the food processor runs, until the mixture forms a ball. You may not need the entire amount.
- If the mixture is too wet, cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Once the mixture is firm, roll it into 1-inch balls.
- Roll the balls in 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans.
- Store the Amaretto Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
- Consider adding festive sprinkles or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving for extra flair!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
