Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Crush the vanilla wafers until very fine, either in a food processor or in a sealed bag with a rolling pin.

2. In a large bowl, combine the crushed wafers, 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut and the finely chopped walnuts, and stir to mix evenly.

3. Add the sweetened condensed milk and rum to the dry mixture, then stir until everything is evenly moistened and holds together.

4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes so the mixture firms up enough to shape.

5. Scoop out portions and roll them between your palms into 1-inch balls.

6. Spread the remaining 1 cup flaked coconut on a plate and roll each ball in it until coated.

7. Place the finished balls in an airtight container and store them chilled until serving.
