Raffaello, a cream and coconut sweet, is definitely the biggest treat for me:) And there is no more fun than making your favourite sweets by yourself! So, I’m giving you my secret Raffaello recipe, I’m sure it will become an enjoyable sweetie by many…

Prep time: 20 min, easy

Waiting time: 1 hour

Serves: 30 little balls

Ingredients:

1 butter

1 glass of powder sugar

2medium eggs

150 g coconut shavings

100 g of digestive biscuits, dry waffles or ‘Herbatniki’ from Polish Shop (recommended)

50 g Hazelnuts or whole almonds

Method:

1.     Cream butter in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer. The butter should become soft and creamy.

2.     Add sugar and eggs to the butter. Keep creaming the ingredients.

4.     Put the butter into the fridge to chill for about 1 hour.

5.     Crash biscuits or ‘herbatniki’. I use an electric blender, but you can use a rolling pin.

 

6.     Add the biscuit crumbs into the butter and mix them int.

7.     Mold walnut-size balls of the cream. Stuff them with a hazelnut or almond and cot with coconut shavings. To add an element of surprise, stuff some of them with hazelnuts and some with almonds.
