Coconut balls with curd

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Required Ingredients

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the raisins, pour boiling water over them and set aside for 10 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   We fry the nuts: you can do it in a frying pan, but since there are very few of them, I used the microwave, set it for 2 minutes - and it’s done! Instead of walnuts, you can take absolutely any: almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, peanuts - those that you have in stock

4. STEP 4

   

   My cottage cheese is grainy - it can be rubbed through a sieve, but it’s faster and more convenient to use a blender. For such balls, it is better to take full-fat homemade cottage cheese, or 9% store-bought cottage cheese, like mine

5. STEP 5

   

   Add sugar or powdered sugar here

6. STEP 6

   

   Add vanillin

7. STEP 7

   

   If desired, add a little honey

8. STEP 8

   

   Puree everything in a blender for a few minutes

9. STEP 9

   

   We should get a homogeneous mass

10. STEP 10

    

    Now add coconut flakes, mix well, we get a mass similar to dough

11. STEP 11

    

    Leave a little for sprinkling the balls, 2-3 tables. l. will be sufficient

12. STEP 12

    

    Take a little curd-coconut mass and knead it into a flat cake, make a small depression in the center where we put the filling, I started with a nut, but unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of this stage)

13. STEP 13

    

    Form a ball with your hands

14. STEP 14

    

    Roll the outside in coconut flakes

15. STEP 15

    

    Next, I took 0.5 teaspoon as a filling. l. condensed milk, these balls are very delicate and you need to sculpt them more carefully than others

16. STEP 16

    

    Then I made the filling from cherries (I used canned, pitted cherries in their own juice)

17. STEP 17

    

    The last option is filling with raisins, which by this time have already steamed. But these are not all the filling options - you can take banana, dried apricots, prunes, various types of nuts, pieces of marmalade, or you can combine several fillings in one, for example, raisin nuts, cherry nuts, cherry raisins, etc. It all depends on your imagination and mood!

18. STEP 18

    

    This is such a beauty we have! It's impossible to resist!

19. STEP 19

    

    Enjoy your tea!

I liked the recipe for homemade Raffaello-type sweets, since my child does not eat cottage cheese, but loves coconut flakes. I prepared 3 servings for testing. For the filling I chose crushed peanuts. I blended all the ingredients with an immersion blender until smooth. With wet hands, I formed balls with the filling and rolled them well in coconut flakes. I put the sweets in the refrigerator for an hour. The homemade Rafaelki sweets turned out great. They are very beautiful and fragrant, incredibly tender and with a surprise. My child devoured all the candies) The preparation is completely simple and not difficult. You can even make these sweets with your child. Coconut balls with cottage cheese are truly a godsend, perfectly disguised cottage cheese that is not noticeable in the candies. Amazing recipe! Many thanks to the author 😊
