Step 1
Start by putting the crushed wafers, flaked coconut, rum, lime zest, and lime juice concentrate into a bowl. Give everything a good mix until it’s all combined well. Then, take small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about an inch across. Once you’ve got your little balls shaped, roll each one in confectioners' sugar to coat them nicely. Pop them in the fridge for a bit if you want them to firm up before serving. Enjoy!
