Instructions

  1. Add the cake to a food processor and pulse until it forms crumbs.
  2. Add the jam, cocoa powder and rum and process until it forms a thick, smooth dough.
  3. Place the coconut into a shallow dish.
  4. Use a teaspoon or melon baller, and make the romkugler mixture into small bite-sized balls. Roll into balls, then roll in the coconut.
  5. Set onto a cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up a little.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Pulse, Don't Blend: Use short pulses in the food processor to maintain a desirable texture for your Romkugler.
  • Chill Before Rolling: Refrigerate the mixture before rolling to make the process smoother and avoid sticky fingers.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different cake flavors, jams, or even flavored rum for a unique twist.
  • Size Matters: Keep your Romkugler bite-sized for the perfect, poppable treat.
