Vegan Jaffa Balls

- 300g cocoa-flavored biscuits
- 150ml orange juice
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 2 tablespoons of orange or mandarin jam
- 1 square of cooking chocolate
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- Zest of 1 orange
Preparation:
Grind or finely crush the biscuits, then pour the orange juice over them and mix well. Add honey, jam, vanilla sugar, and melted chocolate. Finally, mix in the grated orange zest. Combine the mixture thoroughly (using your hands works best) and refrigerate for 30 minutes. After chilling, shape the mixture into balls or press it into molds to create other shapes. Coat the balls in ground biscuits if desired.
Orange Balls
- 4 large “Jaffa” oranges with thick peels
- 150g ground almonds
- 150g sugar
- 1 grated apple
Preparation:
Wash the oranges thoroughly, peel them, and boil the peels in water. Once the water boils, discard it, add fresh water, and boil again. Repeat this process about 10 times until the peels become completely soft. Once cooled and drained, grind the peels and combine them with the other ingredients. Let the mixture cool completely before shaping it into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar. Store in a cool place for 24 hours before serving.
