Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Plain sweet biscuits - (I use Arnott’s Marie biscuits but any plain sweet cookie will work fine).

You can use a food processor, Thermomix or rolling pin to crush the biscuits (cookies).

Any brand of dried apricots are suitable for this recipe.

Chop the apricots quite finely as this makes it easier to cut the slice.

Line the baking tin with baking paper to make it easy to remove the slice.

Press the mixture firmly into the baking tin and smooth down with a spoon.

Allow to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours before cutting into slices.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Alternatively, it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
