Ingredients

1 1/2 cup (250g) dried apricots

500 gram plain sweet (nut-free) biscuits

250 gram butter, chopped coarsely

395 gram canned sweetened condensed milk

3/4 cup (165g) firmly packed brown sugar

1/3 cup (25g) desiccated coconut

Method

1.Grease a 23cm x 32cm swiss roll pan; line base and long sides with baking paper, extending paper 5cm over sides.

2.Process apricots until chopped finely; transfer to a large bowl. Process biscuits, in two batches, until finely crushed; transfer to bowl with apricots.

3.Combine butter, condensed milk and sugar in a medium saucepan; whisk over low heat until butter is melted. Bring to the boil, whisking constantly. Remove from heat; stir into apricot mixture.

4.Spread mixture into pan; smooth surface. Sprinkle with coconut; cool. Refrigerate until firm before cutting into bars or squares.

Process the apricots in two batches if you only have a small food processor. Place the saucepan over a small stove element or gas jet to prevent burning the mixture around the edge of the pan.
