Cheap and Cheerful: Apricot Coconut Ice

This is a recipe from my mum. She would usually make this at Christmas and I find myself doing the same, even though there is no reason why you couldn't make this any time of the year.

Ingredients:
40g chopped dried apricots
60g chopped walnuts
1 packet coffee biscuits, crushed
6 white marshmallows, chopped
1 tsp vanilla\
400ml condensed milk.
Dessicated coconut

Method:
Mix altogether (except coconut) in a bowl. Divide into 4. Shape into logs. Roll in coconut. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in the fridge.

So simple and so delicious. I leave out the marshmallows as it makes it too sweet. I also like to put in more apricots than what the recipe says. You can also make this with other dried fruit.
