We had to try this hack for tasty no-bake tropical squares - it's really quick and simple to blitz all the ingredients together, chill in the fridge, and have as a sweet treat at home or on-the-go.
INGREDIENTS:
150g naturally dried mango, diced
175g naturally dried apricots, diced
50g desiccated coconut + more to sprinkle on top
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
METHOD:
1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend for 2-3 minutes until the dried fruit has broken down into crumb sized pieces and all of the ingredients are clumping together into a ball
2. Remove the ingredients and place in an 8 x 8 inch baking pan. Firmly flatten the mixture evenly across the pan, it should be approximately ½ an inch in thickness
3. Place the pan in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour but preferably overnight to allow the mixture to harden and become easier to cut.
4. Once firm to the touch, cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for over a month
