Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Erythritol sweetener (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate (sugar-free, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Rum (dark or spiced)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional; such as pecans or walnuts)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for rolling)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and erythritol sweetener. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Add the vanilla extract and rum to the melted chocolate mixture, stirring to incorporate.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients, and mix thoroughly to form a thick, cohesive dough.
If using chopped nuts, fold them into the dough at this stage for added texture and flavor.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into evenly sized balls and roll them between your palms to shape into smooth spheres.
If desired, roll each rum ball in unsweetened shredded coconut to coat the outside.
Place the rum balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Store the chocolate rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delicious sugar-free treat!
