Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 100 ml Coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Erythritol or preferred sugar-free sweetener
- 20 whole Blanched almonds
- 50 grams Sugar-free white chocolate (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut cream and erythritol. Stir until the erythritol is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut and coconut flour.
Pour the warm coconut cream mixture over the shredded coconut and coconut flour. Mix thoroughly using a spatula until you get a moist dough-like consistency.
Take a small amount of the mixture (about one tablespoon) and flatten it in your hand. Place one blanched almond in the center and roll the mixture into a ball, ensuring the almond is completely enclosed.
If desired, melt the sugar-free white chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each candy ball into the melted chocolate until coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing the candy on a parchment-lined tray.
Roll the coated (or uncoated) Raffaello balls in additional shredded coconut to coat them completely.
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and almonds.
Place the candies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until they are firm and set.
Store the sugar-free Raffaello candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
