What You Need for Your Raffaello Glace

Before we get started, make sure you have all your ingredients ready. Here’s what you’ll need to create this luscious drink:

• Ice cubes
• 3 oz (90 ml) of milk (you can add more while blending if needed; choose dairy or non-dairy milk based on your preference)
• 5 Raffaello candies
• Double shot of espresso
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• Chocolate sauce (optional, for drizzling)

How to Make Your Raffaello Glace

Step 1: Prepare Your Blender

Start by setting up your blender and making sure it’s clean and ready to go. Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender—this will give your drink that refreshing, icy texture that’s perfect for a hot day.

Step 2: Add the Milk

Pour in 3 oz (90 ml) of milk into the blender. You can use any type of milk you prefer—whole milk for a rich and creamy texture, or almond or coconut milk for a lighter, more tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with the Raffaello candies.

Step 3: Add the Raffaello Candies

Unwrap 5 Raffaello candies and toss them into the blender. These candies, with their creamy coconut and almond filling, are the star of the show. They’ll blend into the milk and ice, creating a velvety, nutty base for your glace.

Step 4: Blend Until Smooth

Blend the ice, milk, and Raffaello candies together until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency. The key is to blend until the ice is fully crushed and the candies are completely incorporated, creating a creamy, icy mixture.

Step 5: Pour into Your Cup

Once your Raffaello mixture is smooth and creamy, pour it into your favorite glass or cup. This is the base of your Raffaello Glace, and it should already be looking delicious!

Step 6: Add the Espresso

Brew a double shot of espresso and pour it gently over the Raffaello mixture in your cup. The espresso adds a wonderful depth and contrast to the sweet, creamy base, creating a sophisticated drink that’s both refreshing and energizing.

Step 7: Top It Off

For the finishing touch, top your Raffaello Glace with a generous swirl of whipped cream. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, drizzle a bit of chocolate sauce over the whipped cream for a decadent look and taste.

Enjoy Your Raffaello Glace!

And that’s it—your luxurious Raffaello Glace is ready to be enjoyed! This drink is a fantastic blend of creamy coconut, nutty almond, and bold espresso flavors. It’s perfect for cooling down on a hot day or enjoying as a sweet treat after a meal.

Extra Tips for the Best Raffaello Glace

• Customize Your Milk: Feel free to use your favorite milk or milk alternative. Coconut milk adds an extra layer of tropical flavor that complements the Raffaello candies beautifully, while almond milk enhances the nutty notes.
• Espresso Intensity: If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra shot of espresso. For a milder taste, a single shot or even a strong brewed coffee can be used instead.
• Chilled Glass: For an extra special touch, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring in your Raffaello Glace. It helps keep the drink colder for longer and enhances the refreshing experience.

Now, all that’s left to do is sit back, take a sip, and enjoy the creamy, nutty, and coffee-rich flavors of your homemade Raffaello Glace. Cheers to treating yourself!
