Place the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, erythritol sweetener, and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Pulse until it's well mixed and the texture is fine.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the coconut cream and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the melted mixture from the saucepan into the food processor with the other dry ingredients. Blend everything together until it forms a thick, consistent paste.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a teaspoon-size scoop, take a bit of the paste and flatten it slightly in your palm.
Place one blanched almond in the middle of the flattened paste and enclose it by rolling it into a ball. Ensure the almond is fully covered.
Roll the ball in additional shredded coconut to coat the outside, giving it a beautiful, snowy appearance.
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and almonds until all ingredients are used.
Once all balls are formed, place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy your low-carb homemade Raffaello candies!
