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 ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the final product will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, rich flavor. Use fresh, full-fat cream cheese and butter. And don't skimp on the rum!
- Chill the mixture before rolling. This will help the balls hold their shape better. You can chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
- Use a variety of coatings. The traditional coating for chocolate rum balls is cocoa powder, but you can also use chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even crushed candy canes. Get creative and have fun!
- Store the balls in the refrigerator. Chocolate rum balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Chocolate rum balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover cake or cookies, and they are also a popular holiday gift. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a chocolate rum ball recipe that everyone will enjoy.
