Ingredients
- 200g sweetened condensed milk
- 200g desiccated coconut (plus extra for rolling)
- 100g almond slivers (or whole almonds)
- 150g milk chocolate (for coating)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 200g of desiccated coconut, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is thoroughly mixed and forms a nice dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle.
- Once chilled, take a small amount of the mixture (about a tablespoon) and flatten it in your palm. Place an almond or almond sliver in the center and then roll it into a ball, enclosing the almond completely.
- Repeat the process until you’ve used all the mixture, then place the rolled candies on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Next, you’ll want to melt the milk chocolate. You can do this by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and heating it in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Once the chocolate is melted, take each coconut ball, dip it into the chocolate, and then roll it in the extra desiccated coconut to coat. Make sure each candy is well-covered.
- Place the coated candies back onto the parchment paper and let them set at room temperature or in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
And there you have it! Enjoy these delectable Homemade Raffaello Almond Coconut Candies as a treat for yourself or share them with loved ones. They are the perfect combination of creamy, crunchy, and sweet—definitely a crowd-pleaser!
