Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 50 ml Coconut milk
- 50 grams Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener (erythritol or xylitol)
- 20 pieces Whole raw almonds
- 30 grams Desiccated coconut for coating
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil.
Add the coconut milk and sweetener to the saucepan, stirring until well combined and heated through.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded coconut, almond flour, and vanilla extract. Mix well until a thick paste forms.
Let the mixture cool slightly, until warm to the touch but not hot.
Take a small amount of the mixture in your hands and flatten it slightly. Place a whole almond in the center and form the mixture into a ball around the almond.
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and almonds.
Roll each ball in the desiccated coconut to coat them evenly.
Place the Rafaellos in the refrigerator for at least an hour to firm up before serving.
