*The apricots I used were large and soft, if yours are dry you may want to pre-soak them in boiling water, if they are small you may want to increase the amount used.
**you can use rice malt syrup if you prefer.

These are THE BOMB!! I didn’t have dried apricots so I used dried fig. I have put this in my keep book. ?????
These are delicious! I blended for 20 secs, working up to speed 4 in the TM5 and they look like the photo Thank you for a beautiful recipe ?
These were great, a big hit with everyone.
Can you recommend a substitute for the coconut cream? Or can you just leave it out?
Yummy! Such a great and easily adaptable recipe for what ingredients I had in pantry. My 16 month old couldn’t get enough of the raw mixture. Thank you Bianca
