The Story Behind My Recipe: Sweden

"These coconut balls are a Swedish classic dessert that everyone in Sweden loves. They are a must have at the traditional Swedish “fika” which is when you get coffee served with some nice sweets. This dessert is served at most fun events, and therefore it has a taste that in my mind is connected with a lot of fun memories, such as school graduation and New Year’s celebrations. It is so easy to make, and it only takes half an hour, so I often prepare this when I want to serve something tasty to guests but I don't have time."
