Ok, so I touched on these in my previous post about food gifts, but then last night I decided it was time to make some, so went searching for the recipe I use. I don’t do the ones with sultanas, because the hubby wont eat them (the sultanas that is…he does adore rum balls!)
I am not entirely sure where I got the recipe, but no doubt it was a website such as Taste.com.au or BestRecipes or similar.
Ingredients
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
2Tbl spoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk powder (Nestle Sunshine is good)
250g plain sweet biscuits (I use Nice usually)
3-4 Tble spoons Rum (I use Bundaberg)
1 410g tin of sweetened condensed milk
Method
Process biscuits in blender or food processor until a fine crumb, then add to mis=xing bowl with other dry ingredients.
Add 2/3 of condensed milk and form into a firm dough, adding extra condensed milk as needed, then mix in the rum. Mix dough well, adding more condensed milk if it is still a bit crumbly. Allow the mixture to firm up a bit, in the fridge if required, then roll into balls about 2-2.5cm in diameter. Put some extra coconut in a bowl, and rolls the rum balls in it to coat. YUMMO!!
