Orange Apricot Cream Dessert

Orange Apricot Cream Dessert

Posted 2016-06-01 by finyfollow

I love apricots and as they are no longer in season here, I have used dried apricots in this dessert.

It has a tangy,creamy flavour and can be eaten with whipped or thickened cream on top.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 5 - 6 servings

Ingredients
260 g dried apricots
1 small orange, grated rind and pulp
30 g coconut sugar
Orange essence or Cointreau (2 tbsp)
125 ml whipping cream
2 tbsp slivered almonds

Method
  • Rinse the apricots and put them in a saucepan with the orange pulp, and rind.


  • Add just enough water to cover this.

  • Bring to the boil and simmer gently on a very low heat for 15 minutes.

  • Stir in the sugar and continue to cook over a very low heat until most of the liquid is absorbed (about 10 minutes), and the apricots are cooked through.


  • You may need to add a bit of water though I did not.

  • Let this mixture cool down a bit and put it in a blender and puree until smooth.


  • Add the Cointreau or orange essence (about 1 small tsp), and add the whipped cream.


  • Stir and add the slivered almonds.

  • Chill in individual dishes, top with an almond (optional), and serve with cream if desired.
