Ingredients

• 2 cups Medjool dates, deseeded
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 2 tablespoons cashew nuts, chopped
• 2 tablespoons almonds, chopped
• 5 tea biscuits, crushed
• 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped
• 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dates : In a medium pan, melt the margarine over low heat. Add the deseeded dates, stirring constantly until they soften and become a paste-like consistency, about 4-5 minutes.
2. Add the Nuts and Biscuits : Once the dates are soft, stir in the cashews, almonds, and crushed tea biscuits. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly distributed and the nuts and biscuits are coated with the date mixture.
3. Shape the Rolls : Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes, until it’s comfortable to handle. Divide the mixture into small portions and roll them into cylindrical shapes (you can adjust the size based on preference).
4. Coat with Pistachios and Coconu : In a shallow dish, mix the chopped pistachios and desiccated coconut. Roll each date roll in the mixture to coat the outside, pressing gently to help the toppings adhere.
5. Chill and Serve : Place the date rolls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week.
