Brandied apricot truffles are a sweet and sophisticated dessert made by combining dried apricots, brandy, dark chocolate, heavy cream, butter, and vanilla extract. The apricots are cooked with brandy until the liquid is absorbed, then puréed to form a smooth mixture that is combined with the melted chocolate and cream. The mixture is chilled until firm, then scooped and rolled into balls. The truffles can be rolled in cocoa powder for added texture and flavor.
