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:

  • For a smooth and creamy filling, make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the coating. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the candies.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Work quickly when dipping the candies in the chocolate. The chocolate will harden quickly, so you need to be efficient.
  • Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Homemade Raffaello almond coconut candies are a delicious and elegant treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a candy that is sure to impress your friends and family.
