About this recipe

These no-bake almond-apricot balls are made with almonds, dried apricots, honey, and shredded coconut. The apricots naturally bind the mixture and add fruity sweetness, the almonds provide a deeper flavor, and cinnamon adds warmth. Shredded coconut helps stabilize the mixture and adds a delicate texture. If the apricots are firm, soak them briefly and drain them well so the balls are easy to shape but not too wet.

Ingredients

Servings: 6

  • 100 g almonds

  • 100 g dried apricots

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut

  • a pinch of ground cinnamon

Steps

  1. If the dried apricots are firm, cover them with warm water for a few minutes, then drain and pat them dry so they do not loosen the almond mixture.

  2. Process the almonds, dried apricots, honey, shredded coconut, and cinnamon into a thick, sticky mixture.

  3. Taste the mixture and, if needed, add 1 teaspoon of water or more ground almonds to adjust the consistency.

  4. Shape into small balls, gently pressing the mixture between your palms; the apricots and honey should bind the almonds and shredded coconut together.

  5. Refrigerate the balls for 20–30 minutes so the apricot-almond mixture firms up and the cinnamon aroma develops more evenly.
