How to make the slice:

What you’ll need for the slice:

1. Mash roasted pumpkin and set aside. In a food processor,
pulse walnuts to break them slightly and set aside. Process
apricots into small pieces and set aside.

1½ cups roasted pumpkin
1 cup walnuts, toasted
1 cup dried apricots
1½ cups shredded coconut, lightly toasted
¼ cup coconut oil
½ cup pepitas, crushed

2. In a large bowl mix all ingredients (except pepitas) together
until well combined. Press into a loaf pan lined with baking
paper and sprinkle crushed pepitas on top. Refrigerate
overnight to set.

Makes: 24 pieces

Tip: Pepitas provide an abundance of zinc, which protects the cell
membrane, helping to maintain collagen and promote skin renewal.
