Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup dates, pitted Ensure they are nice and soft.
  • 1 cup pistachios, shelled Coarsely chopped for easier mixing.
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut Optional, for added texture.
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Optional, for added sweetness.
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by pitting the dates if they aren’t already pitted. You want them nice and soft.
  2. Measure out your pistachios and give them a coarse chop to make it easier to mix.
Blending
  1. In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, pistachios, and a pinch of salt. If you want to sweeten it up a bit, add the honey or maple syrup.
  2. Pulse until everything is well combined but still has some texture.
Shaping
  1. Take a handful of the mixture and roll it into a cylinder shape about 1-inch in diameter.
  2. If using shredded coconut, roll the cylinder in it while shaping for extra texture.
Setting
  1. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  2. After that, slice into pieces and serve.

Notes

Store the rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can be frozen for longer storage.
