No-Bake Fig & Apricot Cocoa Rolls

Ingredients

1 cup Cinderella Figs

½ cup Cinderella Apricots

½ cup Cinderella Dates

1 cup Cinderella Walnuts, roughly chopped

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tbsp fresh orange juice

1 tsp finely grated orange zest

Method

1. To soften the figs, apricots or dates feel (if firm), soak them in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain well and pat dry.
2. Add figs, apricots, dates, walnuts, cocoa powder, orange juice and zest to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture comes together into a sticky, slightly textured dough. (Avoid over-processing, you still want some nutty crunch.)
3. Lay a sheet of baking parchment on your bench & cut into 3 pieces. Divide the mixture into 3 portions. Roll each portion into a log, about 3–4 cm in diameter, using the parchment to help shape it tightly.
4. Twist the ends of the parchment like a bonbon wrapper to secure. Place the logs in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
5. Once chilled, unwrap and slice into rounds. Serve with cheese, crackers, or enjoy on their own as a naturally sweet snack.

Tip:

Keep tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months.
