Raffaello-Inspired Ice Cream

Beat the Heat with a Deliciously Healthy Raffaello-Inspired Ice Cream! 


This recipe is perfect for those who crave a refreshing treat without compromising on taste or health. We've taken inspiration from the iconic Raffaello candy to create a delicious and creamy frozen dessert that's kind on your body. 

Ingredients:

  • 180g Greek yogurt (plain)
  • 50g shredded coconut
  • 100ml coconut milk (canned is fine!)
  • 100g sugar-free white chocolate (chopped)

For the Topping:

  • Extra melted sugar-free white chocolate
  • Chopped roasted chestnuts (a small handful)

Instructions:

  1. In a blender, combine the Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, and coconut milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. 
  2. In a separate bowl, melt the sugar-free white chocolate using a bain-marie (a heatproof bowl placed over simmering water). Alternatively, use short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. 
  3. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the yogurt mixture until well combined. 
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid. 
  5. Once frozen, take the ice cream out a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and drizzle with additional melted white chocolate. 
  6. Finish it off with a sprinkle of chopped roasted chestnuts for an extra textural and nutty twist!

Tips:

  • For an even richer coconut flavor, use toasted shredded coconut. Simply toast the coconut flakes in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown.
  • No sugar-free white chocolate? You can use regular white chocolate, but be mindful of the sugar content. 
  • Don't have chestnuts? Chopped almonds or hazelnuts would be a delicious alternative. 

Enjoy this cool and healthy treat that tastes like a summer dream!
