Apricot Balls - RECIPE

[kiraaleximusic]

I was laughing when you said 'tight little balls' and then you said 'giggle giggle giggle' that made me laugh even more

[Canonpedua12]

I felt stupid when I laughed silently to myself and you said "giggle giggle giggle" haha.

[slsrox1298]

@haylosupastar yes car is car all over the world. Im American. If you soeak another language it is not car tho... Duh :) but she meant that cuz they have accents :)

[haylosupastar]

Nope definitely not the same. Fruit drops (balls) were not just apricot flavoured rumballs! They were ball shaped apricot slice (the stuff u buy from health section in cubes with coconut around the edges). They were smooth all way through & no crunchy rumball type bits!

[haylosupastar]

I will correct myself before anybody else does lol, I know apricots a fruit lol haha, I meant fruit as in a mixture of different fruits hehe

[haylosupastar]

These look like fruit drops that EVERYONE in Australia had at their primary school canteen!! Some schools called them fruit balls. Stupid thing is, they weren't fruit, they were all just apricot, so they shouldve been called apricot balls. How big are they? The ones at school were a bit smaller than a marble.

[haylosupastar]

@MistressCheii - how do Americans say car? I thort car would be a universally pronounced word!!??

[MistressCheii]

I want him to say Car. Just once. I make my New Zealand and Aussie friend say it. XD They just roll there eyes and say it

I'm such a child.

[pammyglo1]

can you use anything other than coconut to roll them in. my daughter loves apricots but hates coconut 

[OnePotChefShow]

@pammyglo1 The coconut is optional - you could dust them with icing/powdered sugar if you prefer ;)

[yedon68]

...oh..."nice tight little balls..."...again.?

[1807miguel]

beautiful eyes

[heelrunner]

Is there a condensed milk that isn't sweet? Seriously?

[OnePotChefShow]

@heelrunner Not that I know of.

[ChronoSama]

@OnePotChefShow Yea.. I've found that it's not too sweet at all! i actually like to put a little bit more condensed milk in this recipe because my friends love the milky quality of them... :).

P.s. Love your videos! Your recipes/presentation are very clear and simple, makes a geek like me seem like he can cook haha

[MrNannynooch]

I like your recipes they are awesome..."last time I did a balls video, in your hands you will roll them up into tight little balls ha ha ha... Hey you said it.

[marcy300]

compair it to your hand their quite small but imagine it all being mixed up all together as one giant apricot ball.that would be a mess.

[fondasaurusrex]

This is sort of off topic, but you have the prettiest eye color!

[LooneyLopez]

The beginning fooled me it really did seem like i was watching TV

[brenton123123]

these are sooo good thank you :)

[KiriouSs]

i wish he where my friend^^.

[potion52]

These look delish! My mother used to make an apricot gooey cake that was divine...I need to pull up the recipe and make it for memory sake... 

[ireoda]

I just made these and it was great! Thank you one pot chef :D

[bravepuppylover9]

i haf a request can u show us how to make nachos?

[pointeskatecybunny]

Can i use a blender?

[OnePotChefShow]

@pointeskatecybunny Most blenders do not have strong enough motors. You really need a food processor.

[17thCenturyLlama]

@OnePotChefShow Unless you have a Blendtec blender!

[FIFAStreet234]

@pointeskatecybunny Blendtec.

[yedon68]

...yeah, these are nice...i like 'em fuzzy and not the same size...would that be impossible..?..

[oldbag699]

yummmmmmy this are really nice !!!!!!

where have u been ?

do u know they banned toffees from the school !!! how can u have a cake nad cake day - what is the world coming too

[Llzdd]

I'm not a huge fan of apricot, so I was wondering can other dried fruits be used in this recipe, Dave? I'm assuming you should be able to.

Mango balls sound yummy!!

[futuristfood]

you're a doll! i'm loving all your shows! great retro whimsical! big fan here.. your a joy to watch!

[SATIJAF]

giggle giggle giggle

[Sweetone51]

Are the cookies you used comparable to graham crackers,can you use vanilla wafers? they looked good anyway!

[OnePotChefShow]

@Sweetone51 Any plain sweet cookies will do - I'm told by some of my American viewers that Graham crackers will work well ;)

[SONYV10]

please when will you make real true yummy lemontons? remember pure chocolate spunge.. not the just boring nothing in the spunge.. actually how about strawberry jam? make strawberry jam and then put it inside the spunge before making a deliciouse yummy pure 100% laminton. Not the boring lamintons u see in quick stores.

[martinhouston09]

Do you like hairly balls inyour mouth? #LOL#FTW#FAIL

[TheAussieBlogger]

My wife loves Apricot... Im going to go down the shops today and get what I need to make this. Might be able to get a root tonight thanks to the One Pot Chief

[utterlyherolike]

Ugh. That's lethal.

[umkoki]

[OnePotChefShow]

@umkoki No, you need to use dried apricots ;)

[Tanaerian]

in all fairness, you laughed first...

[umkoki]

thanks alot for sharing us all ur recipes

[MyMary55]

[TheVittleVlog]

[Reddylion]

[aloo20]

lol gotta love ball assembly, tasty recipe Dave.

[LoftyProduction]

lol what is it with you and condensed milk! XD you love it! =D

[GrahamAndFriends]

I love apricot balls too, and rum balls.

[fezan84]

You temporarily became the OneFoodProcessorChef =D

I'd eat that whole mixture by myself =D -- Great recipe, thanks!

[FloatnFlow]

Whats the difference between a food processor and a blender?

any alternative to condensed milk?

[OnePotChefShow]

@FloatnFlow A blender is for mixing liquid or semi-liquid foods. A Food Processor is a stronger device for mixing more soild items ;)

In this recipe, Condensed Milk is essential and cannot be substituted.

[FloatnFlow]

@OnePotChefShow

Cheers, cant wait to make these up... i remember buying these at 'tuckshop' too, when i could scrounge up the 10cents or so hehe

[IamKris411]

hmm... I'm not so sure about apricots (dried) - but it looks really nice! I wonder what other dried fruit would be a good alternative. :-)

[sn0306]

OMG you r a real genius

im gonna do it

i love apricots, thats looks DELICIOUS

keep on devil of deserts hahaha

kisses from portugal

[arkhumrox]

YUMMY!

[millystack]

yumm I love Nice biscuits.

[OnePotChefShow]

@millystack They're one of my favourites - lovely for dunking in coffee ;)

[millystack]

@OnePotChefShow mhm. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm

[MMEggman]

LOL PECAN PIE!!.... Oh, I mean balls! Hehe.

[OnePotChefShow]

@MMEggman Everyone is a fan of my balls - everyone wants them LOL

[LidsAreFun]

@OnePotChefShow the ball is not in my court!!!!!!

*throws at your face*

gawd you always have balls in ya face x

;)

[xoxoEquinebond]

What if you're SUPER lazy, do you have to chop up the apricots?? Not that I have a food processor, I was just curious :)

[OnePotChefShow]

@xoxoEquinebond You really should chop them up a bit (or cut them up with kitchen scissors) as it makes it easier to process them into the mixture. Large chunks are harder to mix, making the dough lumpy :)

[secretjustin]

I'd love to have some of those balls in my mouth too.

[OnePotChefShow]

@secretjustin LOL I asked for this didn't I? All these balls comments are hysterical!

[tastycook]

looks great

[gothnsincity]

Those BALLS *giggle* look yummy....except no coconut!

[OnePotChefShow]

@gothnsincity LOL - coconut is optional ;)

[tastycook]

looks great

[OnePotChefShow]

@tastycook Thanks ;)

[ballet4life94]

Yeah I love your videos, I always watch em haha!

[OnePotChefShow]

@ballet4life94 Cool - I'm glad I'm entertaining you :)

[ballet4life94]

@OnePotChefShow Yeah i love watching cooking shows and what not

[jrid84]

Mmmm! Ive not thought of doing it all in the food processor, usually i just do the biscuits in there then the rest by hand in a bowl!

[OnePotChefShow]

@jrid84 I find it's quicker and easier in the food processor - I'm very lazy hehehe

[littlebluecarrot]

:O ! My mom used to buy these for me in the supermarket when I was three or four. They weren't balls but logs, and they came in many different colours and flavours but the base was the same...it was what I got instead of candy. They discontinued them and I have thought about them every year since then...i'm 20 now. So...in much shorter words... THANK YOU!!!!!

[OnePotChefShow]

@littlebluecarrot Yes I remember the logs too!!!

I'm glad I've been able to reconnect you with a happy childhood memory ;)

[OnePotChefShow]

@Seantheminiman Don't we all :P

[madlynda]

i cant go one day without checking out the one pot chef, i love him.

lynda x

[OnePotChefShow]

@madlynda Thanks ;)

[mando71P]

Yummm I can't wait to try your balls.

[OnePotChefShow]

@mando71P *giggles* never have my balls received so many compliments!!!

[ballet4life94]

Nice recipe looks great

[OnePotChefShow]

@ballet4life94 Thanks - glad you liked it!

[SpecialElisa]

I have to say, I don't like the packaged apricot balls, but the ones you made in this vid look SO good. I think I might give them a try!

Ps: oh yes, please make muffins! :)

[OnePotChefShow]

@SpecialElisa Give them a go and let me know how they turn out ;)

[SquashyJohnson]

Any treats with condensed milk is a good one.

[OnePotChefShow]

@SquashyJohnson Condensed Milk is made of awesome :)

[ProSkilllz]

Ok, i found your cookie video!

Can you make Eclairs please please please!!! :D

[OnePotChefShow]

@ProSkilllz As in the french pastry? If so, I'll have to say no :(

I am lousy at making that kind of pastry - I've tried several times and it always comes out inedible! If I find a quick, easy version - I'll see what I can do ;)

[ProSkilllz]

My love for the OnePotChef is unexpainable.. !

[OnePotChefShow]

@ProSkilllz LOL :P

[ProSkilllz]

Can you do homemade cookies with chocolate chips in your next video PLEASE.!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OnePotChefShow]

@ProSkilllz Check my other videos for a great recipe for Choc Chip Cookies ;)

[gezzaky]

Can i use apricot jam?

[OnePotChefShow]

@gezzaky I'm not sure that would work, you really need the dried apricots to make the mixture stick together properly. You can give it a go if you like, but I can't guarantee anything ;)

[LidsAreFun]

I was trying to think of a good Balls comment, but you caught me out ;) #LOL

[OnePotChefShow]

@LidsAreFun The ball's in your court :P

[otakop67]

My auntie used to make these whenever she visited back in my Melbourne days. I seriously miss them (and auntie Elle as well, of course) lots since moving back to the states. Thanks, David, for showing me how to make them.

[OnePotChefShow]

@otakop67 You're welcome - I hope they are as nice as your Auntie's version ;)

[manystar]

I like those balls of yours, very even and sweet

[OnePotChefShow]

@manystar They're firm and moist too LMAO :P

[allaria8700]

Just as you said, "Giggle, giggle, giggle" I was in fact giggling...how immature am I? LOL But you've introduced me to something new, would love to give these a try when I invest in a food processor :) Thanks David and your balls look damn tasty haha! :D

[OnePotChefShow]

@allaria8700 giggle giggle giggle :P

[NeonWombat]

I was amazed how easy it actually was, great clip!

[OnePotChefShow]

@NeonWombat Thanks - glad you liked it ;)

[LOOTS243]

#LOL #OMG

[OnePotChefShow]

@LOOTS243 hehehehe!

[Mishellkaaa]

yamii :)

[OnePotChefShow]

@Mishellkaaa YAY!

[greyfuneral]

wow those look really good.. too bad i dont have a food processor lol

[OnePotChefShow]

@greyfuneral I recommend getting a cheap one from your local department store - they can be really handy ;)

[chrillbill]

Wow I have never thought of this before, I have only made chocolate balls but never thought of balls with apricot in. You are a genius! I have to try this sometime :D Take care!

[OnePotChefShow]

@chrillbill Give it a go and let me know what you think ;)

[alleunamme978]

lol i thought thus was going to be like a healthy snack

[OnePotChefShow]

@alleunamme978 No, I said in the intro this was once marketed as a healthy snack, back in the days when anything with fruit in it was considered "healthy" :P

[yedon68]

....em, tight little balls..huh..?

[OnePotChefShow]

@yedon68 LOL never have I said "balls" so often in a video!

[oldbag699]

@yedon68 ewwwwww 

[Esunshine71]

for sure will make them for my son's birthday!

[OnePotChefShow]

@Esunshine71 I hope he likes them!

[happysplinters]

coconut rum balls rule do them next time

[OnePotChefShow]

@happysplinters Sounds interesting ;)

[ilikethewok]

Scrumptious!! Thx for this recipe.

[OnePotChefShow]

@ilikethewok You're welcome!

[yellowpowah]

mmmm, your balls look yummy... ;-)

[OnePotChefShow]

@yellowpowah LOL I get that a lot hehehe

[TheKillerBurrito]

They look great! Mmm!

[OnePotChefShow]

@TheKillerBurrito Give them a go sometime - they are sooo easy to make :)

[iLikeCookie88]

Mmm, these look delish! Will you make muffins in one of your next vids?

[OnePotChefShow]

@iLikeCookie88 I've been meaning to do muffins for a while - I keep getting distracted! I'll do them soon ;)

[iLikeCookie88]

@OnePotChefShow Yay!

[genger100]

what can you use besides apricots

[OnePotChefShow]

@genger100 Any dried fruit you like - prunes work well too ;)

[mylove1]

you eating it makes me want to eat it also, lol...but can you substitute the coconut with something else? i don't like eating anything with coconut on it. thanks.

[OnePotChefShow]

@mylove1 You can leave the coconut off if you like ;)

[gcarped]

@mylove1 Maybe some kind of finely chopped nuts like almonds would work.

[mylove1]

@gcarped thank you very much!

[nursanoritas]

Can you please try to do delicious cupcakes for all your fans out here?

You are simply amazing!

Imitates OnePotChef *And until next time, we see you later* =)

[OnePotChefShow]

[pocketbikefreak666]

[OnePotChefShow]

[OnePotChefShow]

@dramachef Thanks ;)

[yedon68]

@dramachef ..he has many adoring fans...as he does a great job hosting his own show...!

[sunsetlover]

Looks delishious

[OnePotChefShow]

@sunsetlover Tastes even better :P

[TZ2OurLittleDogToo]

lovely litte recipe! thanks for another gem! I suppose a vanilla wafer cookie would be good for those of us in the USA (to address katharineeee's question).

[OnePotChefShow]

@TZ2OurLittleDogToo Any sweet cookies will do :)

[mApL3HoLiC]

health food?....all that condensed milk riiiiight. looks yummy though

[OnePotChefShow]

@mApL3HoLiC LOL I know - it's just like when they advertise kid's breakfast cereal as being healthy, despite it being loaded with sugar!

[katharineeee]

These look delish! Have you ever made these with any other types of dried fruits? I'm not familiar with Nice cookies either (in USA here). What might be the equivalent over here?

[OnePotChefShow]

@katharineeee You can use any plain sweet cookies for this recipe. I'm not familiar with American cookie brands, but I'm sure someone from the US will read this and tell us a local equivalent ;)

[katharineeee]

@OnePotChefShow Like @jasonsteel suggested, maybe graham crackers would be good. I also seem to remember now a local grocery store here carrying a store brand cookie that is coconut flavored, no icing or anything else on it. Thinking if I can find that one again it would be similar to the Nice brand. Thanks!

[jasonsteel1002]

@katharineeee I am just guessing but I think gram crackers would work but lets see what the one pot chef says

[katharineeee]

@jasonsteel1002 Good idea, graham crackers probably would be a good sub.

[undrtkr26]

I refuse to comment about "balls"... Crap I just commented about "balls"

[OnePotChefShow]

@undrtkr26 LOL oh balls!

[jasongiddensviper478]

On the way to the kitchen now! Thank you OPS.

[OnePotChefShow]

@jasongiddensviper478 You're welcome - let me know how they turn out ;)
