- 10 dkg semolina
- 10 dkg coconut flakes + some for coating
- 2 dl cream
- 6 dl milk
- 15 dkg sugar
Other ingredients are one tablespoon of butter, 1 package of vanilla sugar, 30–40 almonds. Preparation will be simple. Mix the milk with the cream and the grated coconut, sugar and vanilla sugar. The dough should gradually separate from the sides of the bowl. Then form balls and put half an almond into each of them. Then roll the balls in coconut flakes and you can serve. Make more of them, because they are very popular and will disappear quickly from the table.
You can also try condensed-milk balls
Also try different variations of this recipe. Raffaelo balls can be made from condensed milk, grated coconut and peeled almonds. Paper praline cups might also come in handy. Just pour the condensed milk into a bowl, add the coconut and mix the mixture. Cover with foil and chill in the fridge for at least an hour. Then take a piece of the coconut mass, press an almond into the center, shape a ball and coat it in coconut. Put it into a cup and let it cool.
There is also a healthy variant. For that you will need hulled sesame seeds, a banana, honey, cow’s milk, rolled oats, almonds and grated coconut for coating. Crush the sesame in a mortar, mash the banana with a fork and add the sesame, honey and milk. Then stir in the blended oats, this gives the mixture firmness and moldability. The subsequent procedure is the same.
