Step 1

Start by mixing together the crushed wafers, flaked coconut, rum, lime zest, and lime juice concentrate in a bowl until everything is well combined. Once the mixture comes together, grab small amounts and roll them into bite-sized balls, about an inch across. Then, gently roll each ball in confectioners' sugar to give them a nice, sweet coating. Pop them in the fridge for a bit if you want them a little firmer before serving. Enjoy!
