Process
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
- Place coconut flakes in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Be careful not to process to a powdered consistency. Transfer to a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Set aside.
- Place coconut biscuit cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Measure 2 1/2 cups of cookie crumbs and pour them into a large mixing bowl.
- Add remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, white chocolate shavings and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Mix with cookie crumbs until well combined.
- In a small measuring cup, mix rum, almond extract and sweetened condensed coconut milk until smooth. Pour into the cookie crumb mixture, a little at a time. The consistency should be somewhat dry but moist enough to hold its shape. Stir until well combined.
- Use your hands to form cookie dough into about 24 balls, 1 inch each. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut-sugar mixture until well coated. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
TIPS: The cookie dough consistency should be somewhat dry but moist enough to hold its shape. Be sure to add rum mixture a little at a time. If it's too wet, it will be too sticky to roll into balls. I recommend tossing each ball in the coconut-sugar mixture right after you roll it. That will ensure the coconut flakes stick well. If you roll all of the balls first and then begin to coat them in the coconut-sugar, the topping will not stick.
