This is such a simple little recipe, these Simple Apricot Bliss Balls are a great treat to have in the fridge!
I am loving all the recipes that are out there for Bliss Balls or truffles depending what you call them! But I realise that sometimes they contain so many ingredients, or unusual ingredients that we don’t always have these on hand in the cupboard.
So with that in mind I thought I would play with the most basic of ingredients and see how I got on – in fact I used only 3 ingredients and they are pretty tasty!
If you want an even more flavourful Apricot Bliss Ball check out my recipe for an Apricot, Nut & Coconut Bliss Balls Here .
And this recipe can easily be made with the kids, I used a food processor, but if you do not have one or a mixer simply chop the soaked apricots as finely as you can!
So here is the recipe – it is simple as. Feel free to add to it if you want, with a bit of honey, or chocolate chips or cover it in white chocolate to be extra fancy, only limited by your pantry ingredients!
Simple Apricot Bliss Balls
So easy to make, using just a few ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Dried Apricots (organic if you can find them)
- 1 Cup Boiling Water
- 1 Cup Desiccated Coconut

Instructions
- Add Apricots and boiling water together in a small bowl and set aside for at least 5 minutes
- Drain well, discard the water and add apricots to a food mixer or chop finely with sharp knife.
- Squeeze orange, some for recipe some for drinking!
- Add the orange and coconut to chopped apricots and mix well until combined, should come together and be sticky enough to roll into balls, you may need to add a little more orange juice.
- Take a teaspoon sized amount and roll into a ball, then roll the bliss ball in coconut.

- They last really well in the fridge.
