Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
  • 125 grams (about 1 1/4 cups) cookie crumbs
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Pan: Line the base of an 18cm x 28cm pan with baking paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal later.

  2. Crush Cookies: Place the cookie crumbs in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground into crumbs.

  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the chopped apricots and shredded coconut, mixing well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

  4. Prepare Condensed Milk Mixture: In a medium saucepan, pour the sweetened condensed milk and add the butter. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the butter is melted and fully combined with the condensed milk, creating a smooth mixture.

  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the warm condensed milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and evenly coated.

  6. Press Into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly into the pan, ensuring it is compacted and level.

  7. Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to chill and set for at least 1 hour, or until firm to the touch.

  8. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips gently in the microwave using a low setting, stirring frequently until smooth and melted.

  9. Top With Chocolate: Once the apricot and coconut mixture has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the squares, using a spatula to ensure a smooth layer.

  10. Allow to Set: Return the pan to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate topping to set completely, usually for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  11. Cut and Serve: Once the chocolate topping is firm, use a sharp knife to cut the squares into desired portions or bars. Serve and enjoy these delicious Apricot and Coconut No-Bake Squares!

These delightful squares are perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings and are great for sharing with friends and family on various occasions, from casual get-togethers to special celebrations. Enjoy the tropical flavors and irresistible sweetness of these no-bake treats!
