Instructions for the Homemade Raffaellos:




…for the spherical wafers:

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Then cut out 20 circles with a diameter of approx. 3cm from the wafer sheets with a round cookie cutter.

Afterwards, prepare a small bowl with cold water, dip the waffle circles briefly into the water and then set aside for 1 – 2 minutes on a wire rack until you can easily deform them.

Preparing Wafers

Then line the roundings of the cake pop mold as smooth as possible with the damp waffle circles and cut off the edges with a pair of scissors. Place the second cake pop mold with the roundings down onto the wafer-filled mold & carefully press a bit (so the wafers will remain in their round shape when baking).

Afterwards bake in a preheated oven for 12 – 15 minutes until the wafers are crispy.



…for the cocnut milk cream:

Combine 75 milliliters creamy coconut milk, 50 grams sugar & 25 grams coconut marrow into a saucepan & heat up over low heat while stirring constantly until sugar & coconut marrow have completely dissolved. Next, pull saucepan from heat, add 175 grams mascarpone cheese & stir together until smooth with a whisk.

Cooking Raffaello Cream

…for the Raffaello bonbons:

Transfer the coconut milk cream into a piping bag & pipe the cream into the wafer-filled cake pop molds. Decorate half of the filled hemispheres with a blanched almond and put the cake pop mold into the freezer for about 1 hour. After the freezing time carefully press together a hemisphere with & a hemisphere without almond filling until you got a whole Raffaello bonbon.

Homemade Raffaello Bonbons

Melt 100 grams white chocolate & about 10 grams solidified coconut fat over a double boiler or in the microwave, also prepare a small bowl filled with coconut flakes. Then pull the Raffaello balls through the melted chocolate first, lift out with a fork & allow to drip off the excess chocolate & finally coat with coconut flakes.



Next, allow the Raffaello Bonbons to harden on baking paper & then serve.

I wish you lots of fun baking 😉
