In a large bowl, mix the vanilla protein powder, finely shredded unsweetened coconut, and almond flour until well combined.
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. In a separate small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, coconut cream, honey, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and add a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a thick, sticky dough.
Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and flatten it slightly in the palm of your hand. Place one whole almond in the center.
Carefully wrap the mixture around the almond, forming a ball, and ensure the almond is fully encased. Repeat this process until all the mixture and almonds are used.
Roll each ball in additional shredded coconut if desired for extra texture and flavor.
Place the Rafaello balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for at least an hour to firm up before serving.
Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
