LOW CARB CHOCOLATE RUM BALLS



Low Carb Chocolate Rum Balls image

From Laura Dolson,Your Guide to Low Carb Diets. You can whip these treats up in 5 minutes, and they make a great gift for the low-carber in your life. Vary the amount and kind of liquor to taste - if you cut down, just replace the rest with water, or sugar-free flavored syrup.

Provided by Nana Lee

Categories     Candy

Time 5m

Yield 17 rum balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup almond flour (best without the skins, in this case)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons powdered erythritol, a sugar alcohol*
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons brandy or 2 tablespoons whiskey, etc, vary according to taste
1/2 cup Splenda granular

Steps:

  • Note about erythritol:
  • I realize that the erythritol is a special ingredient.
  • Some stores are starting to carry powdered sugar alcohols, or you can order online from Netrition or other places.
  • I haven't figured out how to make really delicious chocolate treats without it at this point.
  • Erythritol is the sugar alcohol with the least blood sugar impact, but you can use others.
  • If the erythritol you use isn't powdered, it won't dissolve much in this recipe, so I recommend running it through a blender first, but I'm happy that the most recent erythritol I got came powdered, which is great.
  • Mix all dry ingredients together in bowl.
  • Add vanilla and liquor.
  • If the artifical sweetener is liquid and concentrated, add it to the liquor.
  • Since there are different liquid sweeteners of different concentrations, you may have to play with the total amount of liquid, and cut down on the liquor, or add water.
  • Usually the total liquid you want is about 2.5-3 T.
  • Add the liquid slowly and mix until it all comes together.
  • Roll into balls.
  • The flavors will mellow over the next few days.
  • Store in refrigerator or cool place.
  • Carbs depend on serving size.
  • 17 balls will get you exactly 1 gram of effective carbohydrate per ball, plus a tad over a gram of alcohol and 1.5 grams of fiber.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the rum balls will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use dark rum: Dark rum has a stronger flavor than light rum, which will give the rum balls a more intense flavor.
  • Chill the rum balls before serving: This will help them to firm up and make them easier to handle.
  • Roll the rum balls in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles: This will give them a festive look and add extra flavor.
  • Store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks: They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

Chocolate rum balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chocolate and rum.
