Ingredients:
(Serves 6)

• 12 sheets of brik pastry
• 80 g soft dried apricots
• 80 g almond flour
• 80 g praline chocolate (pralinoise)
• 80 g dark chocolate
• 1 egg white
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Zest of 1 orange, finely grated

Directions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • Finely chop the dried apricots, praline chocolate, and dark chocolate in a food processor.
   • Add the grated orange zest, almond flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
2. Assemble the Cigars:
   • Lay a sheet of brik pastry flat on your work surface. Place a portion of the filling in a line along one edge of the pastry.
   • Roll the pastry tightly, folding in the sides as you go to seal the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
   • Brush each rolled cigar with beaten egg white to seal the edges.
3. Fry the Cigars:
   • Heat a thin layer of peanut oil in a wok or sauté pan over medium heat.
   • Fry the cigars in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
   • Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
