Ingredients
Base ingredients:
- 1 cup desiccated coconut (85g)
- 1½ cups unsulphured dried apricots (195g)
- 1 cup raw almonds (140g)
Topping:
- 100 g dark chocolate 70% cocoa solids
- Optional: coconut to top
Instructions
- Firstly, add the desiccated coconut to a dry frying pan on a medium heat to toast the coconut. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Once the coconut is a light brown colour, add it to a food processor with the almonds and apricots. Blend for a minute or two to form a sticky ball. If it doesn’t come together, add 1-2 tbsp of water and keep blending.
- Separate into 15 pieces and press down into an ice-cube tray (or roll into balls).
- Melt the chocolate and add a spoonful to the top of each bite. Top with a little more coconut, if preferred. Refrigerate to harden for about 30 minutes.
Notes
- These bites store really well in the fridge. They’ll last for at least 7 days.
- They can also be kept in the freezer for up to three months.
