Vegan "Rum" Balls



I packet of Marie biscuits, crushed
4 tbs cocoa powder
1 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 can coconut cream
2 tbs rice syrup


To make crushing the biscuits easier I put them in the blender, you are after a fine crumble. then combine cocoa powder and coconut in a bowl. The coconut cream and rice syrup are a replacement for condensed milk. Open the coconut cream and you want to use the thickest part on the top, very important not to shake the can before use. Mix in the rice syrup and it should start to look a little like condensed milk. Add the cream mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Then shape into balls and roll into coconut. I added some peppermint essences to make them minty but you could use any flavour.
