Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Set puff pastry out to thaw at room temperature. While pastry is thawing make the filling:.
Step 2
Add to a small heavy pot, coconut milk, coconut, apricots, walnuts, brown sugar and lemon zest; bring to simmer, simmer and stir just until the brown sugar is melted; remove from heat, slowly add melted white chocolate while stirring; set aside to cool.
Step 3
Roll out half of the puff pastry to a 12 inch square; cut into nine squares. In the middle of each square place about 1 tablespoon of the apricot mixture. Moisten the four sides with water. Turn opposite corners over the filling to form a triangle; pinch together the two sides and place on an ungreased non stick cookie sheet, poke a hole in the top of each triangle. Repeat with the other half of the puff pastry.

Bake on middle oven rack for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.
