How to Make Apricot Truffles

  1. Mince 1 cup dried apricots in a food processor until finely chopped.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the minced apricots with 1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut, 1/2 cup melted dark chocolate, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
  4. Once chilled, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  5. Toss the truffles in 1/2 cup extra shredded coconut to coat.
  6. Refrigerate for at least another 30 minutes to allow the truffles to set completely before serving. For a cool summer treat, freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
