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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apricots, sweetened condensed milk, desiccated coconut, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until they are well combined and form a sticky, cohesive mixture.
Step 4
Place the extra desiccated coconut on a plate or shallow dish for rolling.
Step 5
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball.
Step 6
Roll the ball in the extra desiccated coconut until it is evenly coated, then place it on a tray or plate.
Step 7
Repeat the process until all the mixture is used and you have approximately 20 apricot balls.
Step 8
Refrigerate the apricot balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
Step 9
Store the apricot balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
