Swedish Kokosbollar-Chocolate Truffles

What you Need:  
16 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened 
1⁄2 cup  sugar  
1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt 
6 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 
2 tbsp. brewed espresso or dark coffee,  at room temperature 
2 tsp. vanilla extract 
2 1⁄2 cups rolled oats 
1 cup unsweetened finely shredded dried coconut
Directions:
Combine the butter, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and use a handheld mixer set to medium speed to beat the mixture until pale and fluffy, 1–2 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, espresso, and vanilla and continue beating until combined, about 1 minute more.

Add the oats to the chocolate–butter mixture and mix until combined.

Divide the chilled chocolate mixture into 36 portions using a tablespoon-size measuring spoon; roll each portion into a 1″ ball. Place coconut in a shallow dish and roll each ball thoroughly in coconut; transfer balls to a baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
