Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon coffee strong, warm
  • 3 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (old fashioned oats)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 7 tablespoon unsalted butter
For coating/rolling
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut or shredded, if desiccated not available; approx

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend together the coffee, cocoa powder and vanilla to form a smooth, thick paste.
  2. Place the oats in a food processor and pulse a couple times to break up a little.
  3. Add the sugar, butter and cocoa paste to the oats and blend everything so combined. Try not to blend so much so that you loose the oat texture completely, but you want it mixed. You may need to stop part way through and scrape down the sides then mix again.
  4. Chill the mixture in the fridge for around 30 minutes to firm up. Then, take spoonfuls of the mixture (around a tablespoon), roll it smooth with your hands then roll the ball in coconut to give a thin coating. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
  5. If you don't have a food processor, you can make this the more traditional way instead. First, let the butter soften a little. Then blend the coffee, cocoa powder and vanilla together, as above. Mix together the butter and sugar until relatively smooth and fluffy. Mix in the oats and cocoa paste and stir well to combine. It will be a bit coarser, unless you have a way to break up the oats a little, but still good. Chill the mixture then roll as above.
