Ingredients
- 100 g dates
- 70 g plums
- 45 g dried cranberries
- 50 g raisins
- 80 g dried apricots
- 50 g pumpkin seeds
- 70 g walnuts, chopped
- 75 g almonds, roasted
- 35 g sesame seeds (reserve some for decoration)
- 20 g pine nuts
- 20 g oat flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Pit the dates and chop them into small pieces.
- Chop the plums and dried apricots into small pieces.
- Roughly chop the walnuts and roasted almonds if not already done.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped dates, plums, dried cranberries, raisins, dried apricots, pumpkin seeds, chopped walnuts, roasted almonds, sesame seeds (reserving some for decoration), pine nuts, and oat flakes.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- Using your hands or a sturdy spoon, mix all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed and start to stick together. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a small amount of warm water or blend part of the dried fruit mixture to form a paste that helps bind the ingredients.
- Form the Dessert:
- Line a baking dish or a shallow tray with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly to create an even layer. You can use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it down.
- Sprinkle the reserved sesame seeds over the top for decoration and press them gently into the surface.
- Chill and Set:
- Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the mixture to firm up. For best results, leave it overnight.
- Serve:
- Once firm, take out the mixture from the fridge and slice it into either squares or bars. Keep them fresh by storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of two weeks.
