Chop the dried apricots into very small pieces or pulse them in a food processor until finely minced. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate until smooth and silky. Be careful not to overheat it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted white chocolate, dried apricots, desiccated coconut, vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. If you desire a sweeter truffle, add the optional powdered sugar at this stage and mix well.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour, or until it has firmed up enough to handle.
Once the mixture has chilled, take small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form smooth, bite-sized balls.
Pour the additional desiccated coconut onto a plate. Roll each truffle in the coconut to coat evenly.
Place the finished truffles onto a tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 15 minutes to set completely before serving.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
