Prune Balls – Healthy Alternative

soak the prunes in rum (can be made a week earlier, the longer they marinate, the more intense they taste)

chop the marinated prunes very finely - chop the walnuts into fine pieces - grind the cake scraps to fine crumbs (alternatively you can also use ladyfingers or rusks) - ATTENTION: if you don't want to bite on nuts, you can chop the walnuts together with the cake crumbs in the Moulinex - I wanted the balls a little more rustic!)

Mix the chopped prunes with the chopped walnuts and the cane sugar in a bowl - mix in the chia seeds and cake crumbs - first chill overnight so that everything combines well and the chia seeds can swell

The next day, roll the mixture into small balls and roll them in chopped walnuts

If there are leftovers when baking a cake, e.g. cut-off edges and the like, then I freeze them and use them later for my Christmas balls or for punch mass ... so you always have what you need at hand
