Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dried apricots
- 120 ml sweetened condensed milk
- 100 grams desiccated coconut
- 50 grams extra desiccated coconut (for rolling)
Instructions
Place the dried apricots into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. If you don't have a food processor, chop the apricots very finely by hand.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apricots, sweetened condensed milk, and 100 grams of desiccated coconut. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Prepare a plate or tray with 50 grams of extra desiccated coconut for rolling.
Using clean hands, take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls.
Roll each ball in the extra desiccated coconut until fully coated.
Place the finished apricot balls onto a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
