Indulge in a decadent apricot coulis and cream dessert celebrating peak apricot season.
Ingredients:
  • 110g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 1 lemon, zested, juiced
  • 500g (about 6) apricots, halved, stoned, roughly chopped
  • 7.50 gm orange-blossom water (see top tips)
  • 420g (1 1/2 cups) Greek Style Yoghurt
  • 250g creme fraiche
  • Roasted flaked almonds (optional), to serve
  • 35g (1/4 cup) dried apricots, roughly chopped
  • 115g (1 1/2 cups) shredded coconut
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (see top tips)
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 egg white
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 160°C. Line an oven tray with parchment paper. Mix apricots, coconut, vanilla, and condensed milk in a bowl. Whip egg white until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the coconut mixture. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the tray, spacing them 3cm apart. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Allow the macaroons to cool completely on the tray. This recipe yields 12 delicious macaroons.
  • While you wait, combine sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and most of the apricots in a saucepan. Stir over low-medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 8 minutes until the apricots are soft. Mix in the orange-blossom water and the rest of the apricots. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Combine yogurt and creme fraiche in a bowl, whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to use.
  • In glasses, alternate layers of apricot and yogurt mixtures, then sprinkle with flaked almonds, if desired.
  • Present a decadent dessert by serving a delicious combination of fruit fools alongside delicate macaroons.
