Southern Ambrosia Snowball Recipes

SOUTHERN AMBROSIA SNOWBALL

Southern Ambrosia Snowball image

We always know the holidays are just around the corner when Mama breaks out her ambrosia balls. Our version features marmalade, wafer cookies, and coconut all balled up. Plus, our snowballs are no-bake, so you can fix these festive treats fast and invite the kids to help.

Yield makes 24 snowballs

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

5 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
2 tablespoons orange liqueur or orange juice concentrate
One 12-ounce box Nilla Wafers, finely crushed
48 mini marshmallows
1 3/4 cups sweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

In a bowl, combine the corn syrup, orange marmalade, and orange liqueur. Stir in the crushed vanilla wafers until moistened and knead together until well mixed.
Use your hands to shape the mixture into 1-inch balls, filling each with 2 mini marshmallows. Roll each ball in the coconut to coat and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
If you're serving this dessert right after you prepare it, try sticking half a maraschino cherry in the center of each snowball for an extra surprise.

Time 45m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed
¼ cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.
