They say that these Swedish chocolate balls, known as chokladbollar, are the first thing a Swedish child learns to make, and for good reason; they’re easy to do, there’s no baking required, and mixing the “dough” together makes for a fun activity. They sure beat snacking on a candy bar during the afternoon slump, as the fats and whole grain keep you satisfied much longer, while the coffee and cocoa provide the perfect pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup coconut oil, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
- ½ cup unsweetened grated coconut, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Heat a pan over medium heat and add oats. Toss and shake until fragrant and lightly toasted, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 2
Combine sugar, cocoa powder, salt, cayenne, butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and coffee in a bowl. Add the oats and mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Portion dough into balls using a sorbet scoop. Roll balls in grated coconut and transfer to a parchment-lined baking pan. Let them firm up in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes.
Chef’s Notes:
Both regular coffee and espresso work here.
