Ingredients for Apricot And Coconut No Bake Squares

  • 200g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
  • Dried Apricot
  • 100g desiccated coconut
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 150g milk chocolate chips

How to Make Apricot And Coconut No Bake Squares

  1. Line the base of an 18cm x 28cm baking pan with baking paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to help lift the finished squares.
  2. In a food processor or blender, pulse 200g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) into fine crumbs.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs with 150g dried apricots, finely chopped, and 100g desiccated coconut.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 can (397g) sweetened condensed milk and 50g unsalted butter.
  5. Stir over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and combined. Do not boil.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until evenly moistened.
  7. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  8. Gently melt 150g milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
  9. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the set apricot mixture.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  11. Once the chocolate is set, lift the squares from the pan using the baking paper overhang and cut into bars or squares to serve.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
