Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 100 grams Coconut cream
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup
- 50 grams Coconut oil
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
- 30 pieces Blanched almonds
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, add the coconut cream and maple syrup. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract to the saucepan, mixing thoroughly, then pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients.
Mix well until the wet and dry ingredients are fully incorporated, forming a sticky dough.
Take a small amount of dough, approximately a tablespoon, and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place one blanched almond in the center and roll the dough around it to form a ball.
Repeat with the remaining dough and almonds until all are used, yielding approximately 30 balls.
Roll each ball in the remaining shredded coconut to coat the exterior.
Place the Raffaello balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Serve chilled and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
