Notes on ingredients

You can find a complete list of ingredients with exact amounts and instructions in the recipe card below.
  • Millet: Soak millet in water for min 4 hours.  Soaking gives it that creamy texture.
  • Apricot: Put dried apricots in a bowl and cover them with water. Soak at room temperature for a couple of hours or until soft. Once soft, drain apricots really well – you can use a fork to remove any excess water.
  • Desiccated coconut: Both fine or medium desiccated dried coconut work for this recipe. 
  • Rice milk: Substitute it with cashew, soy , oat or almond milk. 
  • Coconut flour: Coconut flour is made from coconut flesh that has been dried and finely ground. It’s not the same as shredded or desiccated coconut.
  • Lemon juice: It adds a little extra flavor. 
  • Maple syrup: You can substitute it with agave syrup.

How to make it

You can find a complete list of ingredients with exact amounts and instructions in the recipe card below.
Soaking apricots: Put dried apricots in a bowl and cover them with water. Soak at room temperature for a couple of hours or until soft. Once soft, drain apricots really well – you can use a fork to remove any excess water.
 
Step 1

Once the millet has been soaked in water for 3-4 hours, rinse it well, and let it drain thoroughly. Put it in a medium pot with 350 ml rice milk.

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for approx. 16-18 minutes. Stir frequently.

Remove from heat. If there is any liquid left, drain it well and let it cool down completely.

Step 2

Drain apricots well and put them into the food processor. Add cooked millet and process these two ingredients until well combined (it’s important that the apricots break down before adding the rest of the ingredients).

Step 3

Add shredded coconut, fine coconut flour, lemon juice, and maple syrup and process until all is well combined. Adjust sweetness if needed.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into a bowl and let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up. I usually leave it in the fridge overnight.

Step 5

Roll the mixture into small balls and roll each ball in shredded coconut to coat.

Step 6

Store in the refrigerator.
