Can this be made without the rum?
Jessica McCoy
Definitely. You might want to substitute a teaspoon of rum rum extract for flavor and another tablespoon liquid just to keep the consistency about the same. That's the wonderful thing about recipes is you can always change them up to suit your own tastes and needs. You just have to experiment a little. 😉
