No Bake Orange Coconut Balls Recipe

These no-bake orange coconut balls are the kind of treat you make when you want something sweet, refreshing, and effortless. With bright citrus flavor, soft vanilla crumbs, and a hint of coconut, they come together in minutes and don’t require turning on the oven. I love making them ahead of time and keeping them chilled for an easy dessert or holiday snack.

No-Bake Orange Coconut Balls Ingredients

• 1 (12-oz) package vanilla wafer cookies, finely crushed
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
• 1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, undiluted
• 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Extra powdered sugar or shredded coconut, for rolling

How to Make No-Bake Orange Coconut Balls

In a large bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, and flaked coconut. Mix until evenly blended.

Add the frozen orange juice concentrate, orange zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is fully moistened and holds together when pressed.

Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into bite-size balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar or additional coconut until well coated.

Place the balls on a tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.

Storage Tip

Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for longer storage.
