Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams dried apricots
- 120 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
- 150 grams desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams extra desiccated coconut (for rolling)
Instructions
Chop the dried apricots into small pieces using a sharp knife or pulse them briefly in a food processor to break them down into smaller chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apricots, sweetened condensed milk, desiccated coconut, and vanilla extract.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until they are well combined and form a sticky, cohesive mixture.
Place the extra desiccated coconut on a plate or shallow dish for rolling.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball.
Roll the ball in the extra desiccated coconut until it is evenly coated, then place it on a tray or plate.
Repeat the process until all the mixture is used and you have approximately 20 apricot balls.
Refrigerate the apricot balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
Store the apricot balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
