Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 200 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 50 grams coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20 pieces blanched almonds
- 100 grams white chocolate, gluten-free
- 50 grams extra shredded coconut for rolling
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut oil over low heat.
Stir the mixture continuously until the coconut is well-coated and slightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes, or until it is cool enough to handle comfortably.
Take a small amount of the coconut mixture and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place one blanched almond in the center.
Roll the coconut mixture around the almond to form a small, smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture and almonds.
Melt the gluten-free white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, ensuring it is smooth and lump-free.
Dip each coconut ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the dipped balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with extra shredded coconut for garnishing.
Refrigerate the coated balls for about 30 minutes, or until the white chocolate has set completely.
Serve or store in an airtight container in a cool place. Enjoy your homemade, gluten-free Rafaello!
