Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, Swerve, and dark rum. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Scoop out the mixture with a measuring teaspoon for even-sized portions. Roll each scoop into a ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Choose your coating

Option 1: Roll each ball in desiccated coconut until fully coated. No need to freeze - just coat and serve!
Option 2: Place the shaped balls in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up. While theyu2019re freezing, melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave. Once the balls are ready, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring theyu2019re fully coated. Place them back on the baking sheet to set.
Let the chocolate harden (if using the chocolate coating) before serving.
Serve or store: For either coating, enjoy your keto rum balls immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze and thaw as needed.

Notes

Depending on the type of cottage cheese you use, the mixture might be too wet or too dry. If it’s too wet and not forming into balls easily, just add more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it sticks together. If it’s too dry, mix in a little more cottage cheese to get the right consistency. The key is to make the mixture firm but still sticky enough to hold shape.
