Preparation time: 20 minutes
Chilling time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Number of servings: 20 balls

Ingredients:

For the mixture:
- 250 g plain biscuits (finely crushed)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (or more, to taste)
- 100 g ground nuts (optional, for added texture)
- Rum essence (to taste, recommended 1-2 tablespoons)
- Powdered sugar (to taste, about 100 g)
- 2 whole eggs
- 50 g margarine (or alternatively, you can use 50 ml milk or coffee to bind the mixture)
- Wafer sheets (to form the base)

For the cream:
- 1 pack of butter (about 200 g, at room temperature)
- 5-6 tablespoons powdered sugar (to taste)
- 100 g grated coconut (for a tropical flavor)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the mixture:
In a large bowl, add the crushed biscuits, cocoa powder, ground nuts, rum essence, and powdered sugar. Mix the dry ingredients to combine evenly. It’s important to adjust the amount of sugar and cocoa according to your preferences. If you like sweeter desserts, feel free to add more sugar.

2. Adding wet ingredients:
Crack the two eggs directly into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the melted margarine (or milk/coffee) and mix well until all ingredients are homogeneous. The consistency should be sticky but hold together well. If it’s too dry, you can add a little milk or coffee.

3. Forming the balls:
With wet hands, form balls about 2-3 cm in diameter. You can make them larger or smaller, depending on your preference. Place them on a plate and let them rest for a few minutes.

4. Preparing the molds:
Take the molds you have chosen to shape the dessert. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on the bottom of each mold to prevent sticking. Then, press each ball into the mold, ensuring it shapes well.

5. Filling with cream:
In another bowl, beat the butter with the powdered sugar until creamy and airy. Add the grated coconut and mix to combine. Fill each ball with cream, being careful not to overfill, so you can place a layer of wafer on top.

6. Finalizing the dessert:
Cut the wafer sheets into suitable sizes to fit your molds. Place a piece of wafer on top of each cream-filled ball, pressing gently to secure it.

7. Chilling:
Place the dessert in the refrigerator for an hour to set and combine the flavors. This step is essential as it helps maintain the shape and improves texture.

8. Serving:
After an hour, take the Kojaks out of the refrigerator and carefully remove them from the molds. You can decorate them with a sprinkle of grated coconut or a little powdered sugar on top for an elegant look. Serve them alongside fresh coffee or fragrant tea for a complete experience.

Practical tips:
- If you want to enhance the flavor, you can add other essences like vanilla or almond.
- For a healthier version, you can replace the biscuits with a whole grain or gluten-free option.
- Store the dessert in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for a few days.

Nutritional benefits:
Kojak is a source of energy due to the biscuits and butter, while the nuts add healthy fats and proteins. Cocoa is rich in antioxidants, and coconut provides essential fiber and vitamins.
