Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 100 grams Coconut cream
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup
- 50 grams Coconut oil
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
- 30 pieces Blanched almonds
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, add the coconut cream and maple syrup. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract to the saucepan, mixing thoroughly, then pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients.
Step 4
Mix well until the wet and dry ingredients are fully incorporated, forming a sticky dough.
Step 5
Take a small amount of dough, approximately a tablespoon, and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place one blanched almond in the center and roll the dough around it to form a ball.
Step 6
Repeat with the remaining dough and almonds until all are used, yielding approximately 30 balls.
Step 7
Roll each ball in the remaining shredded coconut to coat the exterior.
Step 8
Place the Raffaello balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Step 9
Serve chilled and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
