👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Crumb the Cake or Biscuits
- Place your leftover chocolate cake or plain biscuits into a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl.
2. Make the Dough
- Add cocoa powder, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix everything together with your hands or a spoon.
- Add rum and just enough milk to form a thick but pliable dough that holds together when pressed.
3. Shape the Balls
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands.
- If the dough is too soft, chill it in the fridge for 15–20 minutes.
4. Coat in Coconut
- Roll each ball in shredded coconut to coat evenly.
- Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
5. Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week — if they last that long!
💡 Variations:
- Add chopped dried fruits like cherries or apricots for a fruity twist.
- Mix in a few crushed walnuts or hazelnuts for texture.
- Use desiccated coconut in the dough for extra coconut flavor!
