Hi, I am a German Chef and Food Photographer. The imparting of cooking knowledge is my great passion. Everyone can cook for himself and with this website I would like to contribute to its success. Cooking questions I answer you gladly at the end of the articles. Have fun and good luck!
The rum pralines are also called truffles, but the sweet balls have nothing to do with the expensive luxury mushroom.The term punch balls describes a preparation from cake leftovers. So that our knowledge is complete, I have supplemented the cake balls here in the article. The oven remains cold today, the preparation takes only 20 minutes, the delicious chocolate pralines taste young and old. Everything perfect, isn’t it? Then let’s go to the kitchen!

1. Prepare Rum Balls, this is to be noted…
The simple chocolates are easy to make, please pay attention to the following points:- For this recipe use Palmin or Ceres, for other coconut fats you have to add a little more walnuts to the recipe.
- For the preparation you need soft fat, so please take the coconut fat out of the fridge a few hours before preparation.
- You can use standard cocoa, the better the quality, the finer the taste!
- Please have all ingredients weighed and ready so that you can prepare the chocolate mass quickly.
- Use a cold stainless steel bowl to mix the ingredients. I always put the bowl briefly in the fridge beforehand.
- For the typical taste you need a ripe rum. Pralines for children can be prepared with Arak aroma instead of rum.

Coconut Mass with Chocolate |

Instruction
Mix the rum, icing sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon grater, lemon juice and salt in a bowl. Dissolve the ingredients, at Christmas time you can add gingerbread spice or cinnamon.
Stir in the cornflour, soft coconut fat, grated walnuts and cocoa and chill for 30 minutes.
Portion the mixture and form balls, then roll in a mixture of cocoa and vanilla sugar or in chocolate shavings.
You can store the praline mass in the refrigerator for several days and shape it into balls as needed.
I always place the finished pralines in praline cuffs so that they are easier to serve.
