One of my favorite childhood desserts was Raffaello because they have everything you need in one dessert. Crunchy on the outside from the shredded coconut, with a creamy texture and an almond in the middle. Sounds delicious, right?
And once I discovered that I could make them in a keto version, I was extremely excited. These sugar-free Raffaello have become one of my favorite coconut dessert recipes, along with my keto coconut cream pie, coconut balls, and coconut cake.
With just a few grams of net carbs per serving, I’m sure you’ll want to make these gluten-free Raffaello coconut balls over and over again.
What Are Raffaello Pralines?
Raffaello is a coconut-based praline that was introduced to consumers in 1990 by Italian producer Ferrero. It is made from a round wafer filled with white milk cream and almonds and then covered in a coconut layer.
