these were good... but i think they needed to be sweeter... I think next time I will add a touch of Cinnamon to the cream cheese and then whip it, and instead of pistachios ill use some candied walnuts or prailines... YUMMY!!!

Loved the idea, but needed a bit more sweetness for my flavor. I'll rate this a 5 because it was very easy and over all good flavor. But I did add a few changes.<br/><br/>I used mascarpone which I prefer over cream cheese, and added a few fine chopped dried cranberries. It gave it a bit of sweetness and was very enjoyable texture wise. The apricots I grilled. I brushed them with honey and lightly grilled them. So they were lightly warm, but nothing too much. Pistachios were a great touch.<br/><br/>Again, this was my take. I did try one (not grilled) and with only the mascarpone and pistachios and for me it need something which is how I came up with my version.<br/>But a nice healthy recipe

A super easy and healthy snack or dessert. Used fresh apricots with light cream cheese- delicious. What's not to like here?.....it's fruity, sweet, creamy and nutty. I think also would be great with a thick yogurt in place of the cream cheese and chopped flaked almonds in place of the pistachios. Photo also being posted.

Made these using dried apricots this time around but am definitely looking forward to using fresh apricots another time ~ So simple to make, & a nice taste, even with the dried fruit! I'm a big fan of pistachios, & they do add a tasty touch! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar tag]
