Description
Refreshing no-bake treats that capture the festive flavors of a classic margarita in a sweet, bite-sized form.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup key lime juice
- 1/4 cup tequila
- Zest of 1 lime
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, take the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and coconut flakes, and mix them together.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the key lime juice, tequila, and zest of lime. Use a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon to blend until everything is well combined, and you form a dough-like consistency.
- Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to shape.
- Form the balls: Once chilled, scoop out the mixture and form it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Roll in coating: If desired, roll each ball in additional powdered sugar or coconut flakes to add a celebratory finishing touch and extra sweetness.
- Refrigerate before serving: Place the formed balls back in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Enjoy your refreshing No-Bake Margarita Balls!
Notes
You can prepare these balls a day in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consider rolling in crushed pretzels for a salty crunch or adding white chocolate drizzle for extra flavor.
