RAFFAELLO FILLING

Ingredients

Raffaello Filling

190 grams (6.70 ounces) condensed milk
90 grams (3.15 ounces) butter
50 grams (1.75 ounces) white chocolate
35 grams (1.25 ounces) coconut flakes

Equipment

Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
This is key for achieving a smooth, creamy blend. If you’re using a hand mixer, make sure to use a large, deep bowl to avoid splattering.
Mixing Bowl
Use a bowl with a spout for easier pouring and mixing. Glass or metal bowls work best for this recipe.
Spatula
A silicone spatula will help you to scrape down the sides of the bowl and incorporate all ingredients thoroughly.
Microwave-Safe Bowl
To melt your white chocolate, a small microwave-safe bowl will do the trick. Melting in short intervals will prevent burning.

Serve these cupcakes at your next gathering, and watch as they disappear in no time. The creamy coconut flavor pairs perfectly with a light vanilla or almond cupcake base.

Start with a layer of vanilla cake, add a generous amount of Raffaello filling, and top with fresh berries or more coconut flakes. Repeat the layers, and you’ve got a stunning dessert fit for a special occasion or just because! How about using this filling to sandwich between light, crispy cookies?

Variations

For those who need a gluten-free variation, simply ensure that all your ingredients, like the white chocolate and coconut flakes, are certified gluten-free. The rest of the process stays the same. To create a vegan version, substitute the condensed milk with a vegan condensed milk version found in health food stores. Use vegan butter, and replace white chocolate with vegan white chocolate chips. It’s a delightful twist that ensures everyone can enjoy this creamy filling.
