Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 g Desiccated coconut
- 50 g Almond flour
- 60 ml Maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 20 pieces Whole almonds
- 80 ml Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
Instructions
Start by gently melting the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until it's just liquefied.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut and almond flour. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and coconut milk to the dry ingredients.
Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and has a soft, moldable consistency.
Cover the mixing bowl with cling film or a lid and refrigerate for about 10 minutes. This will allow the mixture to firm up slightly, making it easier to handle.
Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the mixture into your hand, placing a whole almond in the center. Carefully mold the coconut mixture around the almond, forming a ball shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and almonds to create around 20 balls.
Roll each ball in additional desiccated coconut to coat the outside. This not only adds extra flavor but enhances the textural contrast.
Place the finished coconut almond balls onto a tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the balls for an additional 10 minutes to set.
Once set, serve these delicious dairy-free Raffaello Coconut Almond Balls immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
