Ingredients
Scale
Chokladbollar Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 and ⅓ cup rolled oats
- 2 Tbsp strong coffee, cooled
- ⅓ cup pearl sugar or coconut flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve and the vanilla is evenly distributed.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Mix in the cocoa powder thoroughly to combine it evenly with the butter mixture, giving the base a rich chocolate flavor.
- Incorporate Oats and Coffee: Add the rolled oats and cooled strong coffee to the bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a manageable, slightly sticky mixture for shaping.
- Shape the Balls: Using about a tablespoon of the mixture each time, roll it between your hands to form small, evenly sized balls.
- Coat with Toppings and Chill: Roll each ball in pearl sugar or coconut flakes to coat the outside. Place formed chokladbollar on a tray or plate and refrigerate them until firm, at least 1 hour, before serving.
Notes
- The strong coffee adds depth of flavor but can be substituted with instant coffee dissolved in a little hot water.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based butter alternative and ensure any sugar used is vegan-friendly.
- Store chokladbollar in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can use desiccated coconut instead of coconut flakes if preferred.
- These no-bake treats can also be rolled in chopped nuts for extra texture.
