Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 60 ml Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 50 grams Desiccated coconut or sprinkles (for rolling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Add the melted butter, dark rum, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.
Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form small balls.
Spread the desiccated coconut or sprinkles on a plate. Roll each ball in the coating until evenly covered.
Place the finished rum balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the tray for at least 2 hours, or until the rum balls are firm.
Serve chilled and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
