Coconut Almond Balls with Raspberries

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're mixing a simple coconut-and-almond base with condensed milk, then wrapping spoonfuls around whole almonds and coating them in crushed freeze-dried raspberries. The whole thing takes about an hour mainly because of chilling time—minimal hands-on work, and you get festive-looking treats that taste way better than the usual holiday cookie.

About this recipe

I didn't want to make the classic raffaello balls, since you'll find those on pretty much every plate of Christmas cookies these days. So instead I picked up some dried raspberries, added a handful of almonds, and ended up with a fantastic combination that not only looks great but tastes amazing too.
