Macadamia & Almond Snowballs
Perfectly festive, these fudgy little treats contain only a small handful of simple ingredients and take less than ten minutes to prepare. The creamy macadamia nuts add a certain rich and creamy texture that you will just love.

- Serves 30 balls
- Easy
Keep for later
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Natural Macadamias
1 cup Ground Almonds
1 cup icing sugar, plus an extra 1/2 cup for dusting
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
3 tablespoons rum*
*Most types of liqueur work well here, alternatively you could add the same measurement of fresh lemon juice.
Instructions
Add the macadamias, almonds, icing sugar and coconut oil to a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs
With the motor running on low, gradually add the liqueur, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture starts to come together slightly
Transfer to a small bowl, then use your hands to form the mixture into small balls
Place the extra icing sugar in a separate bowl, then roll the balls in the icing sugar until well coated
Transfer to a plate, then place in the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes
The truffles can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature, but I find they are best kept in the fridge. They will keep for 3–4 days.
