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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut and coconut flour.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Roll the coated (or uncoated) Raffaello balls in additional shredded coconut to coat them completely.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and almonds.
Step 9
Place the candies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until they are firm and set.
Step 10
Store the sugar-free Raffaello candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
