Raffaello candies

To prepare these delicious candies, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients: powdered milk, powdered sugar, coconut, butter at room temperature, and cream. The first step is to take a generous bowl, where you will mix the powdered milk, powdered sugar, and coconut. Use a fork or a silicone spatula to combine these ingredients, ensuring that no lumps remain.

Once you have achieved a uniform mixture, add the soft butter. This will give the candies their creamy and tasty texture. Start kneading the dough with your hands to incorporate the butter well. As you knead, you will notice how the ingredients bind together, forming a pleasant dough to the touch. It is important that the butter is at room temperature so that it integrates easily into the mixture.

After the dough has reached a good consistency, add the cream. Start with a small amount and mix well. If you notice that the dough is still too hard, feel free to add more cream. Continue kneading until you obtain a homogeneous dough that can be easily shaped into balls. This is the moment when you can decide how you want to personalize your candies.

Divide the mixture into two equal parts. One of the portions will remain plain, specific to Raffaello candies, while the other will be mixed with cocoa, giving them an intense flavor and an enticing color. Both variants are extremely delicious and can satisfy the tastes of every sweet lover. If you wish, you can fill the balls with crunchy nuts, which will add a pleasant contrast of textures. Personally, I prefer to leave them plain to savor the purity of the coconut flavor.

After shaping the balls, place them on a platter and let them cool slightly in the refrigerator. This will help firm them up, making them easier to enjoy. These candies are perfect for serving at a party or simply for indulging on an ordinary day. Regardless of the occasion, each bite will bring a smile to the faces of those who taste them, and you will enjoy the appreciation of those around you for your culinary talent!
