Steps:
- Mix milk, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cream, egg, garlic, salt, black pepper, white pepper, and allspice together in a large bowl. Set aside to soak until bread crumbs have absorbed the milk, at least 10 minutes.
- Mix in beef, pork, onion, and parsley, using your hands to mix until well combined. Roll into about 24 small meatballs or 16 larger meatballs.
- Heat butter and oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry meatballs in small batches until cooked through and browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Transfer to a warm plate and cover with foil.
- Add butter for gravy sauce to the pan juices. Melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook and whisk until flour dissolves and turns brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth, beef broth, cream, soy sauce, and Dijon. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine all of the flavors together. Continue to simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add meatballs to the gravy. Toss gently to coat and serve.

Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and pork: This will give the meatballs a more flavorful and juicy texture.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
- Use a light touch when shaping the meatballs: Don't pack them too tightly.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the sauce: This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from falling apart.
- Use a good quality beef broth and cream: These ingredients will help to make a flavorful and creamy sauce.
- Serve the meatballs with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice: These are all classic accompaniments to Swedish meatballs.
