HOMEMADE RAFFAELLO - ALMOND COCONUT CANDIES RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Homemade Raffaello - Almond Coconut Candies Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by ctozzi

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup skim milk powder (1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
35 whole, blanched almonds
1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes, divided

Steps:

  • Mix the condensed milk, milk powder and butter until all ingredients are combined. Add 1 cup coconut flakes and mix well. Chill for about 30 minutes, until firm enough to handle. If the coconut mixture is too sticky and you cannot easily form balls just add more coconut flakes. Take one teaspoon of the coconut mixture, place one almond in the middle and shape into small balls (the size of Raffaello candies). Roll each candy in coconut and you're done. Store the candies in your refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill the coconut mixture thoroughly before rolling it into balls. This will help the candies hold their shape.
  • If the coconut mixture is too sticky, add more powdered sugar until it reaches a consistency that is easy to handle.
  • Be careful not to overwork the chocolate when melting it. Overworked chocolate can become thick and grainy.
  • Dip the coconut balls in the melted chocolate quickly and evenly to avoid streaks or clumps.
  • Place the dipped candies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them until the chocolate has set.
  • Store the Raffaello candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Coconut Raffaello candies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a combination of sweet coconut, creamy white chocolate, and a delicate almond flavor, these candies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you're making them for a special occasion or just as a sweet snack, these candies are sure to please.
