2
Gather ingredients.
3
Pick the fresh mint leaves from the stem and stack together. Slice into thin strips.
4
Arrange the dried apricots on your serving platter. Put the mascarpone into a ziplock or piping bag to easily dollop on top of each apricot. Alternatively you can just use a small spoon to portion the mascarpone.
5
Top each apricot with a few shelled pistachios. I decided to chop them up a bit to easily adhere them to the mascarpone.
6
Sprinkle the chiffonade mint across the top of the apricots.
7
Garnish with a bit of flaky salt and serve!
How to Use a Sandwich Bag as a Piping Bag
Not everyone has a piping bag laying around so a plastic ziplock sandwich bag makes an adequate substitute! Perfect for piping cupcakes and cakes, or neatly dolloping sauces and purees. Just increase or decrease the size of your bag as needed!
