How to Make Drunken Spiced Apricots With White Chocolate Coconut Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Apricots:**
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 lb fresh apricots (halved and pitted), 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup orange liqueur (Cointreau or similar), 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 whole cloves, 1 star anise, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Reduce heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, or until apricots are tender but still hold their shape.
  4. Remove from heat. Transfer apricots to a heatproof bowl, cover, and let stand for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  5. **Make the White Chocolate Coconut Sauce:**
  6. Chop 6 oz of white chocolate into small pieces.
  7. In a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water), heat 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk until warm.
  8. Add the chopped white chocolate, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth.
  9. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract quickly to prevent separation.
  10. **Assemble and Serve:**
  11. Remove the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise from the apricots.
  12. Gently reheat the apricots if desired.
  13. Divide the apricots among serving bowls.
  14. Drizzle each serving with a little of the orange liqueur from the apricot cooking liquid.
  15. Pour the warm white chocolate coconut sauce over the top.
  16. Serve immediately. Optional: Garnish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
