How to make rum balls at home? Easy rum balls recipe
-
Set up a work station with a large ziplock bag and rolling pin (or a food processor); a large bowl for mixing; and a shallow bowl with 3/4 cup of coconut for rolling in.
-
Place the cookies in a ziplock bag, seal and crush with the rolling pin. Alternatively, crush in the food processor until fine crumbs form. It’s ok if there are some slightly larger pieces.
-
Add the crushed cookies, coconut, cocoa powder, condensed milk, rum, and vanilla to the large bowl. Mix the ingredients well using a wooden spoon, then your hands once it gets too thick. (If the mixture is too thick, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of milk).
-
Scoop out a tablespoonful of mixture and roll into a 1 – 1 1/2 inch ball, then roll in coconut until completely covered. Place on a baking sheet or tray and repeat until all the mixture has been rolled into balls.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
