Directions

  1. Soak the dried apricots in hot water for about 10–15 minutes to soften them. Drain and pat dry.

  2. Lightly toast the chopped walnuts in a pan over medium heat until fragrant. Allow them to cool.

  3. In a bowl, mix the mascarpone (or cream cheese) with the peanut butter and toasted walnuts. Combine well, then refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours to firm up.

  4. Cut each apricot in half lengthwise and gently fill the cavity with the chilled mascarpone mixture.

  5. Melt the sugar-free chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler. Stir in the vegetable oil to achieve a smooth consistency.

  6. Dip the filled apricots into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the fridge.
