Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams plain digestive biscuits or tea biscuits
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams chocolate sprinkles or desiccated coconut (for coating)
Instructions
Place the digestive biscuits in a large zip-top bag. Seal the bag and crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Alternatively, you can pulse the biscuits in a food processor until finely crushed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Pour in the melted butter, dark rum, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture together using a wooden spoon or spatula until it forms a cohesive dough. If the mixture is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of milk. If it’s too sticky, you can sprinkle in a little more crushed biscuit.
Take small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
Pour the chocolate sprinkles or desiccated coconut into a shallow bowl or plate. Roll each ball in the coating until fully covered.
Place the coated rum balls onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Once all balls are coated, refrigerate them for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
