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!

Ingredients

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

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

Products

2 tsp Golden Latte

Method

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!
