I live here in Budapest as a missionary and these coconut balls are so good they are in almost every little cake store in the city. If you'd rather, you can substitute rum for the rum extract.

Tips:

Use fresh desiccated coconut for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have desiccated coconut, you can make your own by grating fresh coconut meat.
Be sure to toast the coconut before using it. This will help to bring out its flavor and make it more fragrant.
If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the coconut by hand. Just be sure to grate it finely.
If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of milk or cream. If it's too wet, add a little more coconut.
Be sure to chill the balls for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to firm up and hold their shape.
