A chokladboll (literally meaning chocolate ball) is a traditional Swedish pastry often eaten with coffee during fika. They are quick and easy to prepare, since they require no baking and only a few, common ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups (500 g / 1.1 lb) quick oats
  • 1 ¼ cups (275 g / 9.7 oz) white granulated sugar
  • 6 Tbsp (75 g / 2.6 oz) cocoa
  • 1 Tbsp (15 ml / 14 g / 0.49 oz) vanilla sugar OR 1 tsp (5 ml / 0.17 oz) vanilla extract, added with the coffee
  • ⅔ cup (160 g / 5.6 oz) butter or margarine, softened
  • 6 Tbsp (90 ml / 3 oz) cold coffee
  • Flaked coconut or pearl sugar

Procedure

  1. Mix oats, sugar, vanilla sugar, and cocoa in a large bowl.
  2. Using your hands or a potato masher, incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until the dough has an even consistency.
  3. Add the coffee and mix until incorporated.
  4. Fill a small bowl with flaked coconut or pearl sugar.
  5. With your hands, roll the dough into 1-inch (3 cm) diameter balls.
