Keleti csemege: no sugar, no sweeteners – modern-day nutrition with an almost 2000-year-old dessert.
Ingredients for about 20 nut-size pieces:
200 g dried dates, pitted
100 g unsalted almonds – ground
Orange juice
Coconut shreds
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: ☺
Preparation:
Pulse the almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Clean the food processor, then pulse the pitted, dried dates, and combine with the ground almonds. Add orange juice to get a thick mixture.
Spread the coconut shreds in a shallow dish. Form the date-almond-orange mix into 1-inch balls, and roll in coconut shreds.
Hint:
- You can use cashews instead of almonds.
- If you like sour taste, try this dessert with lemon juice or any kind of sour jam instead of orange juice.

Enjoy!
