Ingredients:
100g (3.5 oz) prunes, rinsed with warm water
100g (3.5 oz) raisins, rinsed with warm water
100g (3.5 oz) dried apricots, rinsed with warm water
100g (3.5 oz) roasted peanuts, cooled slightly
70g (2.5 oz) walnuts, roughly chopped
400g (14 oz) sour cream (25%), at room temperature
300g (10.5 oz) condensed milk, at room temperature
300g (10.5 oz) fine crackers, crushed
Directions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Rinse the prunes, raisins, and dried apricots with warm water and set them aside to drain.
Let the roasted peanuts cool slightly, then roughly chop them, along with the walnuts and dried fruits.
2. Mix the Cream Base:
In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream and condensed milk until smooth and fully combined.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
Add the chopped prunes, raisins, apricots, roasted peanuts, and walnuts to the cream mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Crush the fine crackers and mix them into the fruit and nut mixture, making sure everything is well incorporated.
4. Form the Dessert:
Line a rectangular or square dish with cling film, leaving enough overhang to cover the top.
Pour the mixture into the dish, pressing it down firmly to ensure there are no air pockets.
Fold the cling film over the top and place a flat weight, such as another dish or a pan, on top to compress the mixture.
5. Chill:
Refrigerate the dish for 24 hours to allow the dessert to set and the flavors to meld.
6. Serve:
Once set, remove the dessert from the refrigerator, unwrap, and cut into slices or squares. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Holiday Treat: Serve as a dessert at festive gatherings or as a sweet snack with tea or coffee.
