Ingredients

• 2 cups Vanilla wafer crumbs
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Almond flour (optional, for added texture)
• 0.25 cup Tequila
• 2 tablespoons Triple sec or orange liqueur
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, powdered sugar, and almond flour (if using). Stir until uniformly mixed.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, lime zest, and salt.

Step 3

Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be sticky but firm enough to hold its shape. If it's too wet, add a bit more vanilla wafer crumbs. If it's too dry, add a small splash of tequila or lime juice.

Step 4

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.

Step 5

Spread the shredded coconut on a plate or shallow dish. Roll each ball in the coconut until fully coated.

Step 6

Place the coated Margarita Balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.

Step 8

Store the Margarita Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
