Swedish Chocolate Balls

The Swedish chocolate ball is one of the most classic pastries in Sweden, and it's widely available in bakeries and cafes all over the country.

However, Swedish Chocolate Balls are also easily made at home with just a few simple ingredients and no tools or objects other than a bowl to mix in.

This recipe for Swedish Chocolate Balls is very traditional and originally comes from the box of Gyllenhammar's oats. I have modified it slightly after several years of making this recipe into perfection.

The instructions are very easy to follow, and the ingredients are cheap and available almost all over the world. This means, that no matter where you're from or where you live, you'll be likely to be able to make some Swedish Chocolate Balls.

I have followed this modified recipe since I was 4 years old, and they always turn out perfect and delicious.

Ingredients

200- gram butter
6 dl fine oats
6 tablespoons cacao powder
2 dl raw sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar
4 tablespoons of cold coffee
Grated coconut or icing sugar florsocker to cover the chocolate balls in.

Instructions

Get a large bowl
Add the butter, which should be at room temperature
Add sugar, oats, vanilla sugar, cacao powder, and cold coffee
Mix the ingredients with your hands
Bring two plates, and pour grated coconut or icing sugar on one plate, and leave the other plate empty for now
Roll the balls in your hand and dip it in the grated coconut or icing sugar until covered. Place the chocolate ball on the empty plate, and repeat until you've finished all the batter
Place the plate with Swedish Chocolate Balls in the fridge and leave them for at least 60 minutes. This will give a better texture and allow them to solidify.

Notes

The Swedish Chocolate Balls will taste even better if you leave them refrigerated overnight.

Personally, I prefer them with grated coconut, but they are also traditionally made with icing sugar (florsocker in Swedish).
