• In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, Swerve, and dark rum. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Scoop out the mixture with a measuring teaspoon for even-sized portions. Roll each scoop into a ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Choose your coating:

• Option 1: Roll each ball in desiccated coconut until fully coated. No need to freeze - just coat and serve!
• Option 2: Place the shaped balls in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up. While they’re freezing, melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave. Once the balls are ready, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated. Place them back on the baking sheet to set.
• Let the chocolate harden (if using the chocolate coating) before serving.
• Serve or store: For either coating, enjoy your keto rum balls immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze and thaw as needed.
