Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams white chocolate
- 200 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 250 grams desiccated coconut
- 30 pieces whole blanched almonds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams extra desiccated coconut
Instructions
Melt the white chocolate gently in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring continuously until smooth.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and butter to the melted chocolate and continue stirring until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is well combined.
Stir in the desiccated coconut and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all the coconut is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Refrigerate the mixture for about 2 hours or until it becomes firm enough to handle.
While waiting, lightly toast the blanched almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until just golden. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the coconut mixture is firm, dust your hands with a little desiccated coconut to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of the mixture, place an almond in the center, and roll into a small ball, about 2.5 cm in diameter.
Roll each ball in the extra desiccated coconut, making sure they are fully covered.
Place the Rafaello balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Allow them to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
