About This Recipe

These homemade Raffaello coconut balls are creamy, sweet truffles made with condensed milk, desiccated coconut, and whole almonds—perfect for a quick, no-bake treat.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 200g (2 cups) desiccated coconut (plus extra for coating)

  • 200g (about 2/3 cup) sweetened condensed milk

  • 50g (1/2 cup) powdered milk (optional, for creamier texture)

  • 30–40 whole blanched almonds or hazelnuts (for the center)

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Make the mixture:
    In a bowl, mix the desiccated coconut (reserve a bit for coating) with powdered milk (if using). Add the condensed milk and stir until you get a sticky, moldable dough.

  2. Shape the balls:
    Take a small amount of the mixture in your hands. Flatten it, place an almond or hazelnut in the center, and roll into a ball.

  3. Coat in coconut:
    Roll each ball in the reserved coconut to coat completely.

  4. Chill:
    Place the finished Raffaello balls on a tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

  5. Serve:
    Serve cold. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
