Ingredients
- 300 grams Vanilla wafer cookies
- 180 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 60 milliliters Light corn syrup
- 60 milliliters Dark rum
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 60 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
- 100 grams Sprinkles or shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Directions
Step 1
Place the vanilla wafer cookies into a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them into a resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and chopped nuts.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, rum, and heavy cream until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well until a soft and sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash more heavy cream or rum as needed.
Step 5
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Step 6
Roll each ball in sprinkles or shredded coconut if desired for decoration.
Step 7
Place the rum balls onto a lined baking sheet or tray and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
