Categories     Christmas

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

9 ounces (250 grams) vanilla wafers/cookies, (or plain chocolate cookies)
14 ounces (400 grams) sweetened condensed milk ((I use Nestle))
3 tablespoons rum ((optional))
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder ((I use Hershey's))
1/2 cup finely shredded or desiccated coconut
pinch of salt
3/4 cup finely shredded or desiccated coconut ((or more))

Steps:

  • Set up a work station with a large ziplock bag and rolling pin (or a food processor); a large bowl for mixing; and a shallow bowl with 3/4 cup of coconut for rolling in.
  • Place the cookies in ziplock bag, seal and crush with the rolling pin. Alternatively, crush in the food processor until fine crumbs form. It's ok if there are some slightly larger pieces.
  • Add the crushed cookies, coconut, cocoa powder, condensed milk, rum and vanilla to the large bowl. Mix the ingredients well using a wooden spoon, then your hands once it gets too thick. (If mixture is too thick, mix in 1-2 tablespoons milk).
  • Scoop out a tablespoonful of mixture and roll into a 1 - 1 1/2 inch ball, then roll in coconut until completely covered. Place on a baking sheet or tray and repeat until all the mixture has been rolled into balls.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT BALLS

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Yield 30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup toasted chopped Macadamia nuts
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
8 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate morsels, melted
1 tablespoon shortening

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix together the nuts, condensed milk, almond extract and coconut. Using your fingers, press the mixture into balls about 3/4-inch round. Place onto sheet trays and let rest at room temperature for 4 hours or in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • After the balls have set up, melt the chocolate and shortening until smooth. Dip into the chocolate to coat evenly and lightly. Place onto a parchment or foil lined sheet pan to dry.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Look for fresh shredded coconut, dark chocolate, and a good-quality rum.
  • Toast the coconut before using it to enhance its flavor and aroma. You can do this in a pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a food processor to grind the toasted coconut and graham crackers into a fine powder. This will help the rum balls hold together better.
  • Chill the rum balls for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set more quickly and prevent it from melting.
  • Use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the chocolate. Melting the chocolate slowly and gently will help prevent it from burning.

Conclusion:

These toasted coconut rum balls with chocolate inside are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of toasted coconut, rum, and chocolate is sure to please everyone. They are also a great way to use up leftover coconut and chocolate. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these rum balls at home and enjoy them with your family and friends.
