Cherry Rum Balls
These Cherry Rum Balls are rich, fun, and oh-so-delicious! You’ll be the star of the kitchen when you bring these out. Let’s get those taste buds tingling!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup finely chopped cherries (dried or fresh)
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work great)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for coating
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder for coating
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped cherries, crushed vanilla wafers, and chopped nuts. Mix them together well.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and dark rum to the mixture. Stir until everything is well blended, and you can form a dough-like consistency.
- Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to roll into balls.
- After chilling, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls—about one inch in diameter.
- Now, it’s time to coat those beauties! In two separate bowls, place the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Roll half of the rum balls in powdered sugar and the other half in cocoa powder for some variety!
- Place the coated rum balls on a plate and let them chill in the fridge for another hour to firm up. If you can resist, let them sit overnight to deepen the flavors!
- Serve these delightful Cherry Rum Balls at your next event or keep them for yourself—no judgment here!
That’s it! You’ll have a batch of delicious Cherry Rum Balls that will bring a little sweetness to your day. Enjoy and share with your friends and family!
