Prepare low carb rum balls without rum
Of course, you don't have to buy a whole bottle of rum for a few rum balls. Alternatively, you can also take rum flavoring. This is conveniently packaged in small bottles. But beware: it is very intense.
1 vial of rum flavoring is about 4 to 6 cl rum. It's best to stir in the flavoring and just taste the batter. :)
Rum aroma does not contain alcohol.
What you need to consider before eating
Rum balls are always stored in a cool place. For those who do not have their own room for this, it is best to put them in the refrigerator in a cookie jar so that they do not dry out.
Low carb rum balls taste best when you take them out of the refrigerator and wait for about 10 minutes. Then they have almost room temperature and become juicy and soft. Directly from the refrigerator they are very hard.
