Chokladbollar

This is a Swedish recipe. We bought some of these from Ikea a couple of months ago, which inspired me to try a home made version. I'm glad I did - these are much tastier than the shop bought version. This recipe makes 12-15 balls of chocolate-y, coconut-ty deliciousness.

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups finely rolled/flaked oats (I blended large oat flakes to make them finer)
3/4 cups sugar
3 tbsp cocoa powder
75g vegan margarine
3 tbsp strong cold coffee (I made some with 1/2 tbsp Camp Coffee and 2 1/2 tbsp water)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
desiccated coconut

Directions:
Mix oats, sugar and cocoa in a bowl. Using your hands incorporate the margarine into the dry ingredients until the dough has an even consistency. Add the coffee and mix until incorporated.

Fill a small bowl with the dessicated coconut. Roll the dough into 3cm diameter balls. Roll each ball in the coconut and place on a tray or plate. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
