In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the cocoa powder, rolled oats, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee to the bowl with the creamed butter and sugar. Mix thoroughly until you have a well-combined, cohesive mixture.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Spread the shredded coconut or pearl sugar on a plate or shallow dish. Roll each chocolate ball in the coconut or sugar until evenly coated.
Place the coated chocolate balls on a baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the chocolate balls for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up.
Once chilled, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
