Coconut Raffaello Cake

Soft and fluffy countertop with a fine coconut aroma, white chocolate Ganache cream, in the countertop syrup I added a little almond essence. I even decorated it with Raffaello candies, but it is optional, more effective.

The white chocolate Ganache cream is to be considered, it became my favorite after working with this recipe, simple and very effective, it tastes very good.

Delicious, tender and you will definitely like even the most capricious guests!
