Ingredients
- 1 cup finely shredded coconut
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup rum (adjust based on your preference)
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded coconut, crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add in the rum and vanilla extract. Mix all the ingredients until well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a little more rum.
- Once combined, cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up a bit, making it easier to roll into balls.
- After chilling, take the mixture out of the fridge. Using your hands, scoop and roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- For an additional touch, roll each ball in extra shredded coconut or cocoa powder to coat. This gives your coconut rum balls a lovely finish and adds extra flavor!
- Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and once finished, refrigerate them for an hour before serving. This helps them set and keeps them fresh.
