Ingredients

250g dates, roughly chopped

200g mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios), roughly chopped

1 tsp ghee or coconut oil

¼ cup shredded coconut


Process -

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

Heat ghee or coconut oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped dates and sauté for a few minutes until they soften and become a sticky mixture. Stir in the chopped nuts and half of the shredded coconut. Mix well until everything is well combined.


Step 2: Shape the Roll

Transfer the warm mixture onto a butter paper or a greased plate. While it's still pliable, shape it into a tight log or roll.


Step 3: Coat and Chill

Roll the log in the remaining shredded coconut, ensuring an even coating. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm.


Step 4: Slice and Serve

Once set, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!


Tips :

- Replace some of the dates with raisins, dried figs, or dried cranberries for a different flavor.

- Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for warmth and depth.

- Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds instead of nuts.
