Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Irish
Serves: 20 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of vanilla wafer crumbs, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of Baileys Irish Cream, and 1/2 cup of chocolate sprinkles.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Use a whisk or a spatula to mix these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- Next, pour in the Baileys Irish Cream. Use a spatula to fold the liquid into the dry mixture. Continue to mix until all the dry ingredients are moistened and the mixture becomes a dough-like consistency.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- After forming the balls, roll each one in the chocolate sprinkles until they are fully coated. This will give them a delightful appearance and added texture.
- Place the coated Baileys Irish Cream balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Once all the balls are formed and coated, you can serve them immediately or refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious Baileys Irish Cream Balls as a sweet treat or dessert at your next gathering!
Tips
- Chill the mixture if it's too sticky - refrigerating for 10 minutes makes rolling easier
- Use room temperature Baileys for better ingredient integration
- For a more intense flavor, you can add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients
- Store these balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week
- For a festive touch, try rolling some balls in cocoa powder or crushed nuts as an alternative to chocolate sprinkles
- These make excellent make-ahead desserts for parties and gatherings
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Baileys with chocolate milk or coffee syrup
