Serves 1
Makes 12
15 minutes
Difficulty Easy
4 Ingredients

I make these as they are nut free and a healthier alternative to the kids lunch boxes over junk food, packets of chips etc. All the ingredients can easily be purchased at IGA

Ingredients (serves 1 | makes 12 )

1 cup Coconut Dessicated
1 cup Apricots Dried
1 tbsp Cacao
1 tbsp Apricot Jam (optional)

Method

Blend dried apricots up in a food processor or Ninja for 4 minutes.
Add coconut and cacao and blend for another minute.
Pour mixture into bowl and roll into small balls firmly pressing together all the mix. If the mix is too dry add a very small amount of water or a tablespoon of apricot jam to rehydrate apricots so they stick together.

Notes

To make more double quantities of each ingredient.

I love this recipe. No flour, milk or eggs – ingredients that some people are unfortunate to be allergic to.

Always nice.
It’s always nice to vary as well. I regularly make just apricot coconut balls (so no jam, no cacao).

Oh yum, and only three ingredients, I really like that. I would leave out the jam because of the sugar
