Coconut and Apricot Rochers
Colorful no-bake coconut and apricot mounds — quick to prepare, but the dried apricots need to be soaked in advance.
Ingredients
Instructions
Soaking the dried apricots
Cut the dried apricots into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Pour in the orange juice and soak for about 1 hour, until the liquid is absorbed.
Creaming the butter
In another bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Mixing
Gradually add the dried apricots to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Add the toasted coconut.
Shaping
Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a teaspoon, place the coconut mixture on the parchment and gently shape with your fingers into pyramid-shaped rocks.
Decorating
Place a small piece of glazed cherry on top of each mound, gently pressing it into the dough. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Dust with a little powdered sugar before serving.
