Swedish chocolate balls
Here is the best recipe for the most creamy and delicious Swedish chocolate balls (chokladbollar). These treats are a common sight when it’s time for Fika. For this recipe, I HIGHLY recommend using a food processor. Because this will result in a creamier batter, and this recipe is all about creaminess. If you do not have a food processor, mix or ground the rolled oats somehow. We want the oats ground into really small bits. You should get about 30-35 balls out of this recipe.
Ingredients
· 3â…“ cups rolled oats
· 1 cup butter (room temperature)
· â…˜ cup granulated sugar
· â…” cup cocoa powder
· 2 tsp vanilla sugar
· â…– cup cold, strong coffee (as in boiled coffee, not coffee powder)
· 0.5 tsp salt
· coconut flakes for garnish
It’s important that the butter is softened at room temperature. Otherwise, lumps of butter will remain in the batter. If you wish to make it, even MORE, creamier (mmh…) switch out the granulated sugar for icing sugar. Keep in mind that icing sugar had a tendency to “melt” and make the batter too creamy to roll straight up and will need some time in the fridge before it’s ready.
Use any other type of garnish. Other popular garnishes are sugar pearls, nuts, and sprinkles. You can make them very colorful by rolling them in fun-colored sprinkles. A perfect treat for a birthday party!
The salt will work as a flavor enhancer and bring out more flavors while also countering the sweetness. This extra step will take it to that next-level yummy-ness. And the coffee actually enhances the cocoa flavor more than it brings actual coffee flavor. But if you wish, you may exchange the coffee for water. Read More…
