Growing up, I have always been a huge fan of these amazing Rum balls! I don’t know why my parents let me eat them, but I turned out to be just fine though. If you want, you can skip the rum, but I assure you that it’s the best part of this recipe. Give it a try and enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 (9 ounces) package arrowroot biscuits (such as Arnott’s® Milk Arrowroot™)
1 (14 ounces) can reduced-sugar sweetened condensed milk (such as Nestle®)
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey’s®)
½ cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
2 tablespoons rum (optional)
¾ cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
Directions:
Step 1: In a resealable plastic bag, add the biscuits and crush them into even sizes using a rolling pin.
Step 2: Transfer the crushed biscuits into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3: Add cocoa powder, ½ cup of shredded coconut, condensed milk, and rum. Stir until well mixed and thick.
Step 4: In a shallow bowl, add about ¾ cup of shredded coconut.
Step 5: Form small balls out of the dough.
Step 6: Put the balls on a prepared tray and place it inside the fridge for 1 hour or until firm.
Step 7: Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
For this recipe, you can use vanilla wafers, sweet cookies, or plain chocolate cookies.
If you have a food processor, you can use it to crush the biscuits instead of a resealable bag.
Rum is optional because you might want to serve it to kids.
You can also use bourbon or whisky instead of rum.
