Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Rum Truffles.
Step 1
To start your delightful rum ball adventure, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the crushed vanilla wafers, 1 and 1/3 cups of flaked coconut, and chopped walnuts.
Step 2
Give it a good mix to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed, creating a deliciously textured base.
Step 3
Next, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and a splash of rum, stirring until everything is thoroughly combined and sticky—this is where the magic begins! Once your mixture is ready, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, allowing it to firm up nicely.
Step 4
When the time is up and your mixture is chilled, take the remaining 1 cup of flaked coconut and place it in a shallow bowl.
Step 5
Now comes the fun part! Using your hands, roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls, and then gently roll each ball in the coconut to coat it evenly, giving them a lovely, snowy appearance.
Step 6
Finally, transfer your beautifully coated rum balls to a tightly sealed container and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to share these delightful treats with friends and family.
Step 7
Enjoy the sweet anticipation as you wait to indulge in these irresistible bites!.
