Chestnut rum balls coated in coconut are no-bake Christmas treats made with chestnut puree, ground butter cookies, and butter. The mixture is flavored with rum, chilled briefly, then shaped into balls and rolled in shredded coconut. Either store-bought sweetened puree or homemade chestnut puree made from fresh chestnuts works well.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Mix the base

    Grind the cookies finely in a blender. In a bowl, beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar, then add the chestnut puree and rum and mix until smooth.

  2. Make the mixture

    Stir in the ground cookies and work into a firm mixture that holds its shape. If it is too soft, add a tablespoon of cookie crumbs.

  3. Chill

    30 min

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes.

  4. Shape the balls

    Shape the mixture into balls about 2.5 cm in diameter and immediately roll them in shredded coconut. Place them in paper candy cups.

  5. Chill and store

    1 hr

    Refrigerate the balls for 1 hour to firm up. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about a week.

Tip: If using unsweetened chestnut puree, add an extra 30 g of powdered sugar. For children, replace the rum with a teaspoon of rum flavoring and a tablespoon of milk.
