Chocolate Rum Balls

Chocolate Rum Balls

These are an indulgent treat for the holidays or anytime. They can be made with other flavors as well. Try mint, orange, cherry or amaretto extract in place of the rum extract. And of course, you can replace the heavy cream and rum extract with real rum for the genuine article.

Keto Chow Flavor: Chocolate
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 18 rum balls
Calories: 72.3kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup (3 ounces) sugar-free, dark chocolate chips
  • 2 ounces unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sweetener, plus more for frosting
  • 1 serving Chocolate Keto Chow
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp rum extract

Instructions

  • In a food processor or blender grind the walnuts to a fine texture.
  • Place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring afterward until the chocolate is completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the walnuts, keto chow, and powdered sweetener.
  • Mix the melted chocolate and butter into the dry ingredients, stir in the heavy cream and rum extract, and mix well.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
  • When the mix has chilled, scoop approximately a tablespoon -  a small cookie dough scoop works well for this - and shape into a ball. The texture should be like playdough. If they are too soft, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes. If they are too dry and crumbly, warm them in your hand a bit as you shape them, they should soften and come together.
  • Roll the balls in more powdered sweetener to coat and place them in a container to chill overnight in the refrigerator. The flavors will develop and marry as they chill.
  • You can also roll them in cocoa powder, ground nuts or desiccated coconut. If you want to dip them in melted chocolate, chill them for at least 30 minutes after you roll them.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, stir together all ingredients in a medium saucepan.
  • Stir continuously for 15 minutes.
  • When it’s close to finishing, it will get shiny and be a dark root beer color. It’s best to use a candy thermometer and look for when it reaches 300 degrees. That will give it a hard crack consistency.
  • Pour into silicone molds and put in the fridge until set. Do not touch liquid and be very careful as it is extremely hot!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a bread pan with parchment paper, or prepare your silicone molds.
  • Add all ingredients into a saucepan on medium heat. Whisk continuously for 15 minutes. The mixture should begin to boil at 8-10 minutes and will start to thicken, but keep whisking. When it’s ready, it will be thick and shiny, and will pull away from the pan.
  • Add to your lined bread pan or silicone molds. It’s easiest to transfer it into the pan or molds with a Ziploc piping bag, but be sure to let the mixture cool for a bit first.
  • Put in the freezer for at least an hour or until set. If they do not pull away easily from the parchment paper, they need more time in the freezer.
  • Once set, cut into 16 squares to serve. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

You can cover these in chocolate once set!

Servings: 14 1-Ounce Pieces
Calories: 139.1kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Equipment

  • Candy Thermometer (optional)

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces butter unsalted
  • 4 ounces Erythritol-Stevia blend granulated sweetener
  • 2 fluid ounces heavy cream (1/4 cup)
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 serving Root Beer Float Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 4 ounces pecan halves
  • 1/4 tsp coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with lightly oiled tin foil
  • Put the butter and granulated sweetener in a small, non-stick skillet or saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir gently until the butter and the sweetener melt. At first the butter and sweetener will separate but as they continue to cook they will begin to come together.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • As it continues to cook you will see many tiny bubbles breaking the surface the color will lighten and it will have an almost foamy look. You are essentially making a caramel.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • Let it cook for about ten minutes. It should look lighter in color and thicker. If you have a candy thermometer, you want it to reach a temperature of about 240 degrees.
  • When it is ready, remove pan from heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream a little at a time, and then the vanilla extract. Be careful! It may bubble up a lot when you add the liquid and it is very hot.
  • Bring it back to a boil and cook it for another two-three minutes until it looks thick again. Then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for a minute.
  • When it has cooled, whisk in the Root Beer Float Keto Chow. It should pull together and start to look velvety and glossy as you stir the Keto Chow in.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • Then stir in the pecans and sea salt, being sure to mix them well so they are evenly distributed.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • Now working quickly, use two spoons to scoop and drop 14 rounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. They should look somewhat like cookie dough before baking.
  • Chill in a cool, dry place until firm, about one hour. They set up best if they can set slowly so don’t put them in the fridge or freezer if you can avoid it.
  • Once they are set, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, or in the freezer for two months. If you store them in the freezer, allow them to return to room temperature before enjoying them.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines

Notes

NOTES: If not using a SMALL saucepan, watch carefully as the caramel will burn quickly, even on medium low heat. It is best to use a small saucepan, small burner, and candy thermometer. 
Use small spoons to scoop out to get 12-14 pieces.
