Ferrero Raffaello No Bake Cake
Raffaello-inspired, delicate coconut cake is here for the win! It tastes rather luxurious and creamy, due to the fine-quality white chocolate in the recipe. Almonds in the crust and topping are responsible for rich, nutty flavors!
Equipment
- 1 Mixer
- 1 springform pan
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 7 oz graham crackers (crushed)
- 3.5 oz almond flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup butter (melted)
- 3 tbsp coconut flakes
- ¼ cup milk (or less)
Coconut Cream Filling
- 17.6 oz mascarpone
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 3.5 oz white chocolate
Chocolate Ganache and Topping
- 7 oz white chocolate
- ⅖ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup almond flakes
- ¼ cup coconut chips
Instructions
Making the Graham Crackers Crust
- Blend graham crackers to a powdered texture and combine with almond flour in a 2:1 ratio.
- In a microwave-safe dish, melt some butter and pour it into the bowl with crackers and almond flour. Add powdered sugar and coconut flakes. If needed, pour in some milk. You're aiming for easy-to-mold consistency that is not sticky.
- Press it down directly into the springform pan, even the surface with a glass, and leave it in the fridge to stiffen while you work on the next layer.
Making the Coconut Filling
- Mix together mascarpone and heavy cream to soft peaks. Add coconut flakes, powdered sugar, and melted white chocolate. Whip it well for everything to combine perfectly.
- Pour the coconut layer over the crust and even it. Leave it to rest for about an hour in the fridge to set before making the ganache.
Making the White Chocolate Ganache and Decorating
- Bring the heavy cream just below boiling point and add the chopped white chocolate. Let it soften while occasionally stirring.
- Pour the ganache over the cake, top it with almond flakes, and coconut chips, and store it back in the fridge. Chill it for 3 hours minimally.
Notes
Storing Tips
