• 3/8 cup (50g) shelled hazelnuts
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1/4 desiccated apricots (about 4 apricots, or 30g)

• 1 or 2 tsp agave or meaple sirup, to taste
• shredded coconut as needed

 Method: 

1. ground pistachios, sesame seeds and hazelnuts togeter
2. add chopped apricots, raisins, clementine rind and juice and the sirup and blend again 
3. sprinkle coconut above a sheet of baking paper or aluminium foil one and, with aid of a spatula, spread the mixture smoothly
4. sprinkle again with coconut over the mixture smoothed and freeze for about 5-10 minutes before cutting it

 ...I cutted it into little triangles but the shape doesn't matter. Interpose a piece of baking paper or aluminium foil between a treat and another one and keep them in the freezer. I recommend you to eat it at freezer or fridge temperature to emphasize flavours and also because the texture is better at that temperature...

Ready to serve:
...try it also with walnut milk ( http://rawvogliadivita.blogspot.it/2014/01/raw-vegan-walnut-milk.html )

In the meantime, I want to propose you a cheer, looking similar to creamy and crunchy cocoa mini bites (http://rawvogliadivita.blogspot.it/2013/12/creamy-and-crunchy-cocoa-raw-mini-bites.html ) but with nutty and cocoa flafour which, mixed together, combine to make you relive the pleasure of beloved nutella, that for many is now just a dream or a memory. These bites I wanna propose you also can bring to mind the taste of delicious Ferrero Rocher... who had the oportunity to taste them, will always remember them for their creaminess and crunchiness, and also for their marvelous taste of hazelnuts and cocoa. Here's how to prepare them:

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup (about 85g) shelled hazelnuts
• 4 tightly pitted dates
• 1 full tbsp cocoa

Method:

1. using a mixer, whisk together hazelnuts and cocoa
2. add chopped up pitted dates and whisk again
3. roll between palms the mixture to create bites as big as you prefer

They are great ith vegetable mik ( http://rawvogliadivita.blogspot.it/2014/01/raw-vegan-walnut-milk.html ), with a raw-coconut yoghurt, with raw vegan banana ice-cream (http://rawvogliadivita.blogspot.it/2014/01/raw-vegan-banana-ice-cream-garnished.html) , with many others combinations and also eaten without anithing else!!
