  • 4 tablespoons tahini 
  • 1 cup chopped salted Hawaii macadamia nuts 
  • 2 cups puffed rice

  • ½ cup chopped dried apricots 
  • 1-½ cups melted dark chocolate 
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped Hawaii macadamia nuts for topping 

 
Directions: 

  • Warm the pureed dates in the microwave for 2-3 minutes to make them softer and easier to mix. Add in the tahini and puffed rice, mix well to combine. Next, add the Hawaii macadamia nuts, chia and sunflower seeds, raspberries and apricots. Mix everything together until well combined. 
  • Press the mixture into a sheet pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

With fresh or frozen berries, this crumble tastes summery all year
Fresh, in-season berries always make the best crumble, but we always keep a bag of fruit in the freezer to have the taste of summer any time of year. Quick-cooking oats are best here; old-fashioned oats remain too firm and chewy. Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with vanilla ice cream.
