  • 1/3 cup (25g) desiccated coconut

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

    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.

Notes

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.
