Stuffed dates – four ways

Four-ingredient citrus slice

Makes 25 squares Prep 10 mins, plus chilling time

Freezer

For those days when a piece of fruit won’t cut it, but you’re short on time for baking. Move over shop-bought muesli bars, this refreshing slice is the ultimate high-fibre accompaniment to a comforting cup of tea.

200g cashew nuts

200g desiccated coconut

150g dried apricots

juice of 1 large orange (approx. 80ml), plus zest to taste

Line the base and sides of an 18cm square brownie tin with non-stick baking paper.

Place the cashew nuts in a food processor and blitz for 30 seconds until ground. Add the coconut and apricots and pulse until the apricots are finely chopped. Add the orange juice, and blitz again until the mix forms a ball, this usually takes 1 minute or so. Taste, and add zest to preference.

Firmly press the mixture into the brownie tin with the back of a spoon. Chill in the fridge for 4 hours or until firm enough to cut. Slice into 25 squares.

Too impatient? Pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes before cutting with a sharp knife.

Storage These will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or you can freeze the sliced squares between pieces of non-stick baking paper in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Switch After an extra plant point? Add a grated carrot (approx. 70g prepped) and reduce the juice to 60ml.
