Let's Get Ready to Rum-Balls
Is it even Christmas without rum balls? These lovely little morsels have been super popular at Nutra HQ, though we recommend only having one or two cause they pack a punch if you know what we mean. We spiked them with some Golden Latte, just for fun. Enjoy at a party, or with a sneaky cocktail for some Christmas cheer! 
Pantry Items
View in metric
  • 1 cup dates
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder, plus extra tbsp for rolling
  • 2 tsp Collagen Beauty Unflavoured 
  • 1/2 tsp himalayan salt
  • 2 tsp dessicated coconut 
  • 2-3 tbsp dark molasses (you can also use brown rice syrup)
  • 1/4 cup rum (we used Salior Jerrys spiced rum!)

optional: dried rose petals

  1. Dry roast the cashews and almonds for about 5 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool for a few minutes. 
  2. Pop the dates in a blender/thermomix and whizz to a paste. You can add a little of the coconut oil to make them break down. Should take about 1-3 mins, depending on the blender.
  3. Add the nuts and whizz until it all becomes a paste. 
  4. Add all the other ingredients to the blender and whizz until it all comes together, will take a couple of minutes. 
  5. Spoon about a tablespoon into your palm and roll into cacao powder, desiccated coconut or rose petals if you have some. 
  6. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. 

Serve cold for a fudgey, rummy delight!
