Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 1 Dozen
Ingredients
- 6 ripe apricots, sliced in half and pitted
- 1 can full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
- ⅛-1/4 c maple syrup
- 1 vanilla bean, or 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ c apricot jam
- ¼ c melted chocolate
- cinnamon for dusting
Instructions
- Scoop the cream off the top of the coconut milk and transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add the maple syrup and vanilla and beat on medium speed with a hand mixer until fluffy. If using a vanilla bean, cut the bean length wise and scrape out the wonderful seeds.
- Fill each apricot half with about 1 teaspoon of apricot jam.
- If you have a pastry bag, transfer the cream to the bag, and use your favorite tip and fill each apricot with the coconut cream. If you don't have a pastry bag, no biggie at all, just use a teaspoon. They'll still look pretty.
- Melt the chocolate in a small bowl over a double boiler and drizzle over the filled apricots.
- Dust with cinnamon.
- Yum!
- * Adjust your sweetness level, you may enjoy more or less maple syrup.
