Dessert with banana and coconut flakes

A sweet dessert with banana and coconut flakes is very similar to the famous Rafaello candies. But it is prepared from the simplest products. The main ingredients are bananas, butter and dry milk, which are turned into a banana-cream mass. Then small balls are formed from it and rolled in coconut flakes. Such homemade candies will appeal to both adults and children. Due to the fact that bananas are used in the composition, the dessert is healthier than regular candies.

Dessert with banana and coconut flakes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute powdered sugar with honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar for a natural sweetener. Just adjust the quantity to taste as liquid sweeteners may affect the cream's consistency.
Store the dessert in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The coconut flakes may soften slightly over time but will still be delicious.
Absolutely! Replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter, and use a plant-based powdered sugar. Ensure the dry milk is substituted with coconut milk powder or omit it and adjust consistency with extra banana.
You can roll the balls in crushed nuts (like almonds or pistachios), cocoa powder, or even cinnamon sugar for a different flavor and texture.
Yes, they freeze well. Place them on a tray to freeze individually first, then transfer to an airtight container. Thaw in the fridge before serving for best texture.
Chilling the cream thoroughly (30+ minutes) makes it easier to handle. If it's still sticky, lightly wet or oil your hands before shaping the balls.
Use a low-carb sweetener like erythritol instead of powdered sugar, and reduce the amount of banana or replace half with mashed avocado for a keto-friendly version.
Serve them on skewers as bite-sized pops, drizzle with melted chocolate, or layer in mini dessert cups with yogurt and granola for a parfait.
