RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
- Use full-fat sweetened condensed milk for the best texture - it sets firmer than skim.
- Finely chop the apricots and chocolate for even distribution through the mixture.
- Wet your hands lightly before rolling to prevent sticking.
- Chill before rolling - don't skip this step!
- Too soft? Add extra coconut until the texture firms up.
- Storing: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week.
- Freezing: Freeze in a sealed container or ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge when ready to eat.
