These little sweet jewels, with a creamy interior and a crunchy texture, combine the flavor of coconut with the delicate taste of hazelnuts. It’s a simple, quick recipe that requires no baking, ideal for anyone who wants to indulge without worrying about calories. Preparation Time: - Prep time: 15 minutes - Cooling time: 30-40 minutes - Total: 55-60 minutes - Servings: 20 candies Ingredients: - 200 g butter (82% fat) – ensures perfect creaminess - 140 g powdered fructose – a healthy alternative to sugar - 100 g coconut – for the authentic taste - 200 g unsweetened milk powder – for a fine texture - 50 g hazelnuts – a crunchy and healthy core - 1 capful vanilla essence – for an enticing aroma - 50-60 g coconut (for decoration) – for an appealing look Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. Preparing the Cream: In a large bowl, start by creaming the softened butter (make sure it’s at room temperature) with the powdered fructose, using a mixer or spatula. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes creamy and fluffy. It’s essential to use high-quality butter for the best results. 2. Adding the Flavors: Add the vanilla essence to the butter and fructose mixture. Vanilla not only enhances the flavor but also adds a warm and comforting note. Mix well to evenly distribute the aroma. 3. Including the Light Ingredients: Incorporate the milk powder and coconut. These ingredients will give density and flavor to your candies. Use a spatula or mixer on low speed to avoid splattering. 4. Cooling the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes. This step is crucial as it will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape the candies. 5. Shaping the Candies: Once the mixture has firmed up, take the bowl out of the fridge. With wet hands to avoid sticking, take a portion of the mixture and shape it into a ball. Place a whole hazelnut in the center of the ball, then seal it well. This detail is what makes the candies special! 6. Coating in Coconut: Spread the coconut on a plate. Place each shaped candy on the coconut and give it a light roll, ensuring it is evenly coated. This not only enhances the appearance but also adds a crunchy texture. 7. Serving: After you finish shaping all the candies, leave them in the fridge to firm up a bit before enjoying. You can serve them alongside a cup of green tea or a fragrant coffee – the perfect combination! Helpful Tips: - Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality butter and fresh coconut for the best results. Powdered fructose can be made by grinding granulated fructose in a coffee grinder. - Vegan Option: If you prefer a vegan recipe, you can replace the butter with a plant-based butter and the milk powder with a nut or soy alternative. - Nutritional Benefits: These candies are healthier than traditional ones, having a low sugar content and being rich in healthy fats from hazelnuts and coconut. - Frequently Asked Questions: - *Can I replace hazelnuts with something else?* Yes, you can use almonds or pecans, depending on your preferences. - *How long can they be stored?* These candies can be kept in the fridge for up to a week, in an airtight container. A Personal Note: I discovered this recipe on a lazy weekend afternoon when I wanted to make a quick yet healthy dessert. Every time I prepare them, the aroma of coconut reminds me of beach vacations, and the hazelnuts inside pleasantly surprise anyone who tastes them. Diet Raffaello candies are not just a sweet treat but also a wonderful option to impress your friends and family. Enjoy them with pleasure and don’t forget to share the joy with your loved ones!
