  • 1 sachet Vanilla sugar (Approximately 8 g)

  • 50 g Sugar (For the glaze)
  • 2 g Agar‑agar powder (Vegetable gelling agent)
  • 1 gousse Vanilla bean (Scrape the seeds)
  • 12 unités Wooden skewers (To hold the balls during glazing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the raspberry‑coconut dough

    In the blender bowl, place the fresh raspberries, 100 g shredded coconut and the vanilla sugar packet. Blend until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.

    Time: PT2M

  2. Form the balls

    Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Using the scale, weigh portions of 20 g and roll them between the palms to form perfectly round balls.

    Time: PT10M

  3. Insert the skewers and freeze

    Gently insert a wooden skewer into the top of each ball. Arrange the balls on a tray and place them in the freezer while the glaze is prepared.

    Time: PT5M

  4. Prepare the passion fruit glaze

    In a saucepan, pour the passion fruit juice, add the sugar, agar‑agar and vanilla seeds. Stir with the whisk, bring to a boil then cook for 2 minutes while continuing to stir.

    Time: PT7M

    Temperature: 100°C

  5. Strain and cool the glaze

    Time: PT30M

    Temperature: 4°C

  6. Smooth the glaze

    Time: PT3M

    Temperature: 32°C

  7. Coat the balls

    Dip each ball 2‑3 times into the glaze, let the excess drip off, then roll in the remaining shredded coconut. Place on the serving plate, remove the skewer and decorate the top with a slightly glazed fresh raspberry.

    Time: PT15M

  8. Finishing and storage

    Let the balls rest for 5 minutes so the glaze stabilizes. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container, consume within 3 days.
