Description

These bite-sized chocolate apricot truffles are not quite as rich as their original cousin, but they are just as delicious. The fruity centre provides a lovely tart and chewy contrast to the firm sweet chocolate coating.

1 hr cooking

Directions

Line oven tray with baking paper.

Combine apricots, coconut and condensed milk in small bowl.

Using wet hands, roll level tablespoons of the apricot mixture into balls; place, in single layer, on tray.

Combine chocolate melts and oil in microwave-safe bowl; cook on MEDIUMLOW (30%) in microwave oven for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted.

Using fork, dip one ball into chocolate mixture to coat all over; place on tray. Sprinkle with a little of the extra coconut. Repeat with remaining balls, chocolate mixture and coconut. Freeze until set.
