Raffaello candies are amazingly tasty and also amazingly high in calories. The combination of creaminess and coconut is delicious! Due to the excess harmful ingredients (for example, sugar), I do not buy these candies, but make healthy Raffaello candies at home.
There are many options for preparing coconut delicacy, this recipe is the fastest and easiest. I won’t lie – they taste a little like the original, but they are also tasty and have the same obvious coconut in both taste and smell.
So, let’s prepare healthy curd coconut candies like “Raffaello”!
Answer to the question: “Is it possible to use coconut flakes rather than fresh pulp?” Of course it is possible. However, the coconut flavor will not be as pronounced. After all, fresh coconut gives not only a pleasant taste, but also a strong smell. Moreover, over time, the candies will be saturated with the aroma and oils of coconut pulp and will become tastier. Shavings will not give such an effect.

For bars
baked milk-120g
coconut flakes-45g
sweetener to taste
egg white-120g (this is about 3-4 eggs)
For the glaze:
40 gr. dark chocolate + milk (4-5 tbsp.)
30 gr. beat coconut shavings with a blender. Add the remaining ingredients for the bars, mix and let sit for 10 minutes.
We transfer the mass into a mold (the height of the mass should be about 1.5 cm) and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes at power 850. It is important here not to overdry - all micros are prepared differently. The base should set but remain slightly damp.
Let it cool and put it in the refrigerator to cool. Cut the base into portioned bars.
Melt the chocolate in the same way...

To make delicious homemade sweets from dried fruits, we recommend that you carefully select the ingredients for preparing the delicacy. It is advisable to buy dried fruits in bulk at the market, from sellers whom you trust and are confident in the quality of the product.
It is worth paying attention to their appearance; you should not choose too bright colors, as there is a high probability that they have been treated with chemicals.
You can get healthy sweets without sugar if you use the following to prepare them:
Dates. This wonderful natural product is a good remedy for the prevention of heart, stomach, kidney diseases, as well as oncology. Dates should be eaten by women who are preparing for the birth of a child, to facilitate childbirth, and by nursing mothers to increase lactation. This healthy fruit will give men energy and strength.

Prunes. Dried plums are recommended for stomach problems, constipation, and help in losing weight and improving the health of the whole body. In addition, prunes have good antimicrobial properties and will help cope with infectious diseases.
Proper nutrition is not a system of strict restrictions and prohibitions, and therefore it is possible and even necessary to eat sweets. If you are watching your daily diet and do not want to overeat, then it is best to give preference to lower-calorie desserts and sweets. Of course, you will have to give up desserts with whipped cream, cakes with rich creams and other empty and completely useless calories, but you still have many other dietary sweets. In addition, there are a lot of healthy desserts that are low in calories, thanks to the right ingredients. What sweets are available at pp? Let's figure it out.
If you are determined to lose weight and want to significantly reduce the calorie content of your food intake, and are also ready to give up regular sweets, then we can offer you a lot of healthy and tasty ideas.
If you are still new to proper nutrition and don’t know what dietary sweets to prepare, we bring to your attention a small educational program into the world of low-calorie desserts.
One of the most popular sweeteners is stevia. This natural product is so versatile that you can use it to make a lot of sweets: ice cream, jelly, marmalade, pies, puddings, souffles, meringues, marshmallows, cakes, jams, sweet drinks and much more.
Diet dessert - banana soufflé
Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork. Separate the white from the yolk and beat with a mixer until white peaks appear. Add lemon juice to the whites and continue beating. Add the whipped egg whites and stevia to the banana and mix everything thoroughly. Place our soufflé in silicone molds and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Bake until the soufflé has a golden brown crust. The finished low-calorie dessert can be poured with hot chocolate.
Cottage cheese is an ideal base for low-calorie sweets. 100 grams of low-fat cottage cheese contains only about 70 calories, but cottage cheese is rich in protein! Using cottage cheese you can prepare a lot of sweets that you can enjoy even in the evening. You can make the following sweets from cottage cheese: marshmallows, diet pudding, low-calorie marmalade, various mousses and soufflés. In addition, cottage cheese is good to use as a cream for soaking pp cakes.

We put it in molds and put our dietary dessert in the refrigerator and wait until it hardens.
Do you want to make the lowest calorie sweets? Then try pp meringue and dietary marmalade and low-calorie marshmallows. These desserts are extremely low in calories and are frequent guests on the table of people who adhere to proper nutrition.

The primacy of the healthiest sweets is given to desserts based on dried fruits and nuts. Such dietary sweets contain a lot of useful substances and perfectly satisfy the feeling of hunger. But it should be recognized that the calorie content of such delicacies is not so low, since dried fruits and nuts themselves are quite high in calories. You can make healthy dietary candies and bars from nuts and dried fruits.
What dried fruits are best to use? Dates, prunes, dried apricots, figs, raisins, dried cranberries. As for exotic dried fruits, do not forget about melon, papaya, and guava. The main thing is to use dried fruits without added sugar.
As for nuts, almonds, peanuts and cashews are actively used for making desserts. And remember about healthy seeds, they should also be included in your diet - pumpkin and sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds.
PP date candies
Peel the dates and blend in a blender until smooth. We put sunflower seeds there and make small balls. Roll each ball in sesame seeds. PP sweets are ready!
Another dietary product from which you can make sweets is oatmeal. PP recipes for cookies, candies, bars and even cakes are often made based on this useful ingredient. You can even make low-calorie milk from oatmeal, which perfectly satisfies hunger.
Oatmeal bars
First, mix peanut butter with honey and heat it up a little. Add oatmeal and cranberries to this mixture. Mix thoroughly and pour the resulting mass into the mold. There is no need to bake these bars, just put them in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Muesli bars are ready to eat!

There are also many simple pp recipes for your favorite desserts that will help you become slimmer. Be sure to try these recipes and share your impressions! Proper nutrition can be not only healthy, but also tasty!
Healthy handmade sweets have been a hit in recent years. They are served in fashionable cafes, given to each other on holidays, and advocates of the strictest diets feast on them. Home-made candies from dried fruits and nuts will fit perfectly into the PP (proper nutrition) system and diversify the dietary or vegetarian menu.
To prepare healthy sweets, a wide variety of ingredients are used: dried fruits, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, candied fruits, honey. The recipe provides enormous possibilities for imagination.
It is better to buy walnuts in shell and shell them before cooking, as they quickly oxidize when exposed to light and begin to taste bitter.
The special ingredient is dates. Their rich and slightly sugary taste allows you to create exquisite duets of flavors and does not require variety in the composition of the dessert.
Homemade sweets with dates will be very sticky. It is better to roll them in chopped nuts, sesame seeds or coconut flakes. Cocoa powder will be absorbed very quickly and the dessert will lose its appearance. You can add a chocolate touch by adding cocoa inside or rolling the candies in grated dark chocolate.
Chocolate-coated chocolates have a completely professional look.
To prepare, you will need high-quality chocolate, no matter white, dark or milk.
Honey not only adds sweetness and flavor to candies, but also serves as a binding agent in recipes containing lots of nuts and seeds.
If you are allergic to honey, you can soften the consistency of the paste with maple or rosehip syrup instead of liquid honey.
It is easy to thicken a mixture that is too soft by adding any dried fruits or nuts if the honey is not thick enough.
For decoration, it is better to use coconut shavings.
Adherents of proper nutrition will prefer to make natural sweets less sweet and fatty. To do this, a neutral-tasting binder rich in protein and amino acids – boiled chickpeas – is added to the mixture. This is a variety of peas, popular in the East and already appreciated in our cuisine.
It is suggested to use powdered stevia as a sweetener in this recipe. This is another healthy product, with almost zero calories and a rich phytochemical composition.
Oddly enough, one of the most delicate and delicious types of candies is made from simple oatmeal. It doesn't even need to be boiled.
You can use a little more cinnamon for decoration.
As an option, you can make rectangular sweets: smooth the sweet mass on the bottom of a greased mold, cool in the freezer and cut into portioned diamonds.
Sweets with cottage cheese are soft, not at all cloying, and inside there is a pleasant surprise - a whole nut or grape. This is the perfect treat for little ones with a sweet tooth.
In addition, you need to prepare whole roasted nuts or seedless grapes according to the amount of candy.
A lot of scientific and popular literature has been written about the benefits of dried fruits and nuts. There is no point in analyzing in detail the content of vitamins, healthy fats and acids in a culinary article, especially since the content of one or another product in each candy is not high.
However, what comes to mind is the vitamin paste of Academician Amosov, developed by him for the recovery of patients in the postoperative period. It is still used in this capacity, and is also recommended for healthy people to maintain immunity.
All ingredients are taken in 1:1 proportions (one fresh lemon per three kilograms of paste), crushed and used daily, one spoon three times a day before meals. By the way, you can also form round candies from it.
This nut-fruit mixture activates general and local immunity, has an antioxidant effect, restores the nervous and digestive systems, and has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart and other organs.
Despite the fact that the fruits are used in dried and dried form, they still contain enough useful substances to create a therapeutic effect when used regularly.
Another undoubted advantage of natural sweets is the absence of flavor enhancers and other food chemicals. There will never be a euphoric desire to eat a kilogram of such sweets at once; even the biggest sweet tooth will be able to control themselves.
It remains to add that the process of making homemade sweets itself brings a lot of pleasure. It can become a wonderful pre-holiday tradition or a fun attraction for a family, children's or adult party.
