Who doesn't love rum balls around the holidays? They're no-bake, super easy to make and can be easily made keto without sacrificing the taste you have come to love. You could almost call them a Christmas fat bomb, though since they also have some whey protein powder, they keep your protein macros in check too.
Holiday Rum Balls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/4 Cup dark cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/3 cup chocolate whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Lakanto granulated monk fruit sweetener, powdered in a spice/coffee grinder
- 10 drops vanilla-flavoured liquid stevia
- 1 oz dark or spiced rum (or ½ teaspoon rum extract)
- 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan pink sea salt
Coating Ingredients:
- walnuts, chopped into smaller pieces
- unsweetened shredded coconut, ground into smaller pieces in a spice/coffee grinder
- sugar-free peppermint candy, crushed into pieves (*around 1/4 cup of any of the above will cover about half the above rum ball recipe.)
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together into a bowl. Combine until sticky. Depending on the weather, if it gets to sloppy, just add some more almond flour to the mix.
Roll into balls then roll half the balls in the shredded coconut and half in the chopped walnuts. Refrigerate on a plate and enjoy! Makes around 15 rum balls.
