Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams White chocolate
- 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 20 pieces Whole blanched almonds
- 100 grams Finely shredded unsweetened coconut (for coating)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and 200 grams of finely shredded unsweetened coconut. Mix until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the mixture (about a heaped teaspoon size) and flatten it slightly in your hand.
Place a blanched almond in the center of each portion, wrap the mixture around the almond, and roll it into a smooth ball.
Roll each ball in the additional 100 grams of finely shredded unsweetened coconut to coat evenly.
Repeat the process until all the mixture is used.
Refrigerate the finished Raffaello balls for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to set.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
