How to Make Apricot Brandy Balls

  1. Grind 1 cup dried apricots in a food processor until finely chopped.
  2. Add 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 cup milk (any kind), and 2 tablespoons apricot brandy to the food processor.
  3. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  4. The mixture will be sticky. This is normal!
  5. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a wax paper-lined plate or baking sheet.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. These can be made several days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  7. Before serving, roll each ball in powdered sugar until evenly coated.
