    I used one of my homemade coconut sprinkle mixes for this recipe, as the 'Beach Mix' made the perfect sandy topping to bring this yummy dessert to life.

    For the apricot jam I used St. Dalfour Apricot Preserve, which is one of my favourite jam brands as it's made with 100% fruit. I finished our mini sandy beaches with Organix fruit gummy stars, plus a cocktail beach umbrella to keep them nicely shaded! My boys thoroughly enjoyed testing this recipe for me, and I've already had several requests to make them again.
