I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
1. Place the coconut into the TM bowl and mill 2 min/ sp 8. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mill again 1 min/ sp 6. You should now have a very wet spreadable 'butter'. Set aside.
2. place cacao nibs into the TM bowl and mill 30 sec/ sp 9, (you now have cacao powder), mill a further 30 sec/ sp 9 to release oils and you should have a paste consistency.
3. Add the coconut butter back into the bowl, then add dates and mill 30 sec/ sp 8, taste and decide if you would like to add the apricots, if so add at this point and mill 30 sec /sp 9 at which point you should have a crumbly consistency.
4. Empty the 'crumble' into a bowl and using your hands squeeze into walnut sized pieces. This is quite oily, so don't be surprised. The balls will harden to a chewy consistency. They are very rich, so I would be inclined to keep them on the smaller side.
Preparation of the paste
Tip
I wanted to keep this to a maximum of 4 ingredients and I think it is delicious. You could add orange zest, or cinnamon at step 3 as a variation.
