Chocolate, coconut, and a hint of rum are all rolled together to form these simple, crowd-pleasing treats. Our vegan rum balls are easy to whip up, blissfully bite-sized, and perfect for the festive season (or snacking straight from the fridge any time of year).
You will need
Makes 24
- 450g chocolate biscuits (Arnott's Chocolate Ripple work great for this!)
- 80g (1 cup) desiccated coconut
- 200g dairy-free sweetened condensed milk
- 45g rum, or sub with orange juice or coconut water to make alcohol-free rum balls
To decorate:
- Desiccated coconut, cocoa powder, icing sugar, chocolate/rainbow sprinkles, crushed nuts or hemp seeds (see tip)
Recipe: Rainbow Nourishments
Directions
-
Step 1
Add the chocolate biscuits to a food processor and pulse until it reaches fine crumbs. Add the coconut and pulse again.
-
Step 2
Add the sweetened condensed milk and rum and pulse until the mixture forms a soft and slightly tacky mixture.
-
Step 3
Using clean hands, roll the mixture into balls. Then roll each ball in your desired coating.
-
Step 4
Store the rum balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Hot tip!
If you coat the rum balls in cocoa powder or icing sugar, the balls will absorb the coating within 1-2 hours so it’s best to serve the balls immediately. If you want to keep the rum balls for longer or gift them, coat them in coconut, sprinkles, nuts or seeds.
