  • Total Time
    15 mins

Ingredients

  • Crushed vanilla wafers weighing 11 ounces
  • Sweetened flaked coconut, measuring ½ cup
  • Coconut-flavored rum, in the quantity of ½ cup
  • Zest of a lime
  • 1 tablespoon concentrated lime juice (like Rose's®)
  • Confectioners' sugar, an eighth of a cup

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine smashed wafers, delicate coconut flakes, a splash of rum, zesty lime peel, and concentrated lime juice. Stir everything together until the mixture is perfectly blended. Form the mixture into small 1-inch balls and gently coat them with a dusting of powdered sugar for a delightful finish. Optional tip: If the mixture feels too sticky, you can refrigerate it for a while to make shaping the balls easier.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your coconut flakes in an airtight container to lock in their freshness and prevent them from becoming stale.
  2. 2. Store your lime zest in a resealable bag in the freezer to maintain its vibrant flavor and aroma for longer.
