Tips:

Use fresh coffee. Freshly brewed coffee will give your Irish coffee balls the best flavor. If you don't have fresh coffee, you can use instant coffee, but it won't be as good.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the Irish coffee balls tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the batter before forming the balls. Chilling the batter will make it easier to form the balls and will help them hold their shape.
Use a small cookie scoop to form the balls. A small cookie scoop will help you make evenly sized balls. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a teaspoon.
Roll the balls in cocoa powder. Rolling the balls in cocoa powder will give them a rich chocolate flavor. You can also roll them in other toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed candy.

Conclusion:

Irish coffee balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover coffee. So next time you have a cup of coffee, save some for making Irish coffee balls. You won't be disappointed!
