Dates Fudge Dessert With Walnuts and Coconut

Summary: This is a simple dates dessert that contains no processed or artificial sugars.

Dates Fudge Ingredients (28 dates balls)

• 2 lbs of baking dates paste (Zeyad brand, ready for baking). If this is not available, grind pitted dates in a food processor for a few mins until they turn into a paste.
• 2 table spoons of unsalted butter
• 1/2 lb of Walnuts
• 1/4 lb Coconut flakes

Dates Fudge Preparation Method

1. Melt butter in a saucepan on low heat
2. Hand-knead pitted dates with butter in a deep bowl, or you could also plate pitted dates and butter in food processor and grind for 3-5 minutes.
3. Split the 2 lbs of dates into about 28 pieces, stuff each piece with a couple of walnut halves, then roll it between the palm of your hands until it turns into a smooth ball. The ball should be a bit smaller in size than a golf ball.
4. Dip or roll the ball in a plate full of coconut flakes. Once ready, you can leave the rolls at room temperature or place them in a fridge. The coolness brings out the flavor more for some reason.
5. Serve with Arabic coffee or black tea.
