My kids are obsessed with apricots so they are all kinds of in love with this easy 2 Ingredient Apricot and Coconut Slice!

2 Ingredient Apricot and Coconut Slice Recipe

I first starting making this 2 Ingredient Apricot and Coconut Slice years ago when I was trying to recreate my favourite apricot bites that I used to LOVE when I was a kid.  After sort of ‘forgetting’ about this recipe for a couple of years, I went back to it last year when the boys became obsessed with all things apricot, and they got a big thumbs up from both of the boys.

This Apricot Slice is best stored in the fridge/freezer (you could try this Apricot, Coconut and Oat Slice if you are looking for something which can be stored in the pantry), however they do hold up quite well to being stored in lunch boxes for a few hours and are a regular snack for us whenever we head out for the day.  I also find a piece of this slice satisfies my after dinner sweet craving and it’s certainly better than eating chocolate!

When making this Apricot and Coconut Slice, it’s important to make sure you press the mixture firmly into your pan as this will help it set firmly and be easily cut into bars or slices.  If you find it’s not holding well together (this can happen sometimes depending on the type of dried apricots you use, simply add a little extra coconut and blitz for a further 30 seconds until it starts to come together more.

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g of dried apricots
  • 60 g of desiccated coconut

Instructions
 

  • Line a loaf tin with baking paper making sure you leave plenty hanging over the sides to help you remove the slice once set.
  • Place the dried apricots and coconut into your food processor (or a large bowl if using a stick mixer) and blitz until the apricot pieces are finely chopped and the mixture is well combined. This should take around 30 seconds.
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared tin and use a metal spoon to evenly spread it across the tin and push down firmly until you have a smooth surface.
  • Place the slice into the fridge overnight to set - or freezer if you prefer your slice to set very firmly.
  • Remove the slice from the tin and cut into small squares. This Apricot and Coconut Slice is best kept in the fridge (or freezer) until needed.

      Hi Siobhan, for this recipe I used Australian Apricots, but I’ve used Turkish before. If you find the mixture isn’t coming together just add a little extra coconut 🙂

        Can this recipe be rolled into balls or will they just fall apart.

        You can try rolling them into balls (I haven’t though), otherwise I’d suggest checking out this recipe: https://createbakemake.com/2018/07/30/healthy-apricot-bliss-balls/

    Thank you Lauren Matheson. I did roll them into balls and little fingers for the grand kids. They turned out great. Made some for Easter. They were great. ( for those who like apricots) oh well, can’t please everyone. More for me then. Haha.
