Ingredients

Cake

Chocolate Rum Mixture

  • 8 oz chocolate sugar free or high cocoa solids
  • 4 oz cream heavy
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons rum

Dusting

  • 3 tablespoons cocoa unsweetened
  • 3 tablespoons desiccated coconut unsweetened

Instructions

Make the cake

  • In a small bowl, mix the butter and egg.
  • Add the coconut flour, cocoa powder, monkfruit and baking powder.
  • Pour the mixture into a medium ramekin dish or mug and cook in the microwave for 90 seconds until firm.
  • Remove and set aside to cool before use.

Make the Rum Balls

  • In a small saucepan melt the cream and butter on a medium heat.
  • Place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl.
  • Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes.
  • Stir until the chocolate has dissolved.
  • Roughly tear the cake into pieces and add it into the chocolate mixture. Pour the rum into the mixture, making sure that some goes on top of the sponge. Stir the mixture.
  • Cover with clingfilm and leave in the fridge overnight to firm (or 4 hours)

Assemble

  • Place the cocoa and coconut in two separate shallow dishes.
  • When the mixture is firm, scoop out a walnut sized amount of the chocolate mixture with a cookie scoop or a spoon.
  • Shape the mixture into a ball and gently roll in either the cocoa or coconut dish.
  • Place the rum ball on a plate lined with parchment paper.
  • Repeat until all rum balls are made.
  • Store in the fridge until you are ready to eat them.
