These gluten-free boozy balls are fun to make for holidays and dinner parties! You can make them ahead of time and pull them out of the fridge when you are ready to enjoy them!
I had so much fun making these boozy balls with my friend Jamie today! I am not a huge sweet eater, but I do like to have little bites of deliciousness around during the holidays when company comes over.
These FOUR recipes are really easy to make and go together pretty easy. The truffles are a little labor intensive with having to cool them in between each step. If you want the fastest and easiest of the recipes I would recommend the cake balls over the truffles, only because you need to use a double boiler for the truffles. The next three truffle recipes will be linked below!
What are some of your favorite holiday desserts?
Do you like quick and simple desserts like these or more elaborate ones like Buche De Noel? One of my favorites is Panettone but I have yet to master a gluten free version of it!
Which Alcohol Should I Use?
You can flavor your dessert balls with any alcohol as long as it’s gluten-free! I chose the flavors for my boozy balls because we enjoy those combinations but please feel free to experiment with your boozy ball combinations!
Here is a gluten free alcohol guide to help you check to make sure your favorite libation is safe to eat and drink! Also, you can contact the manufacturer to double-check! Please remember to listen to your body!
