Did you already heard about kókuszgolyó ? That’s hungarian coconut balls made with plain biscuits, cacao and coconut balls. They usually eat kókuszgolyó during Christmas or Easter.
I do not remember if I already shared with you this story. My great grandparents from the father or my father site moved from Hungary to France way before my grandfather was born. Today, even if unfortunately I do not speak a word of hungarian, I do have this blood flowing inside my veins and some family overthere that I do not see that often.
I had the chance to meet few Hungarian over the years. But one in particular, Hédi that I see quite often make me discover these delicious kókuszgolyó.

You can add walnut or try it with rum. 😉
Hi Natasha, I’m Hungarian and want to let you know original recipe does not include cherry juice. Using the hot milk to wet the ingredients
Hi ,I’m from Hungary and I just wanr to give some extra tips.
You can wet the biscuit crumbs with milk or heavy cream.
We usually add rum aroma this give them a distinguish flavor. We usually not add cherry juice but we usually put sour cherry in the middle( I don’t like it but most of the people do)
Real rum is not good I tried it doesn’t have that specific taste it’s needed, but I tried with rum and aroma it’s the best if you want to give to adults it’s kinda boozy.
But if you have only thoose ingredients thats also make a perfect ball. ?
Thank you to share this recipe.?
