Ingredients

Date Paste

2 cups dates pitted
¾ cup water
Little coconut oil

Date and Biscuit Balls

1 cup date paste (To make it yourself use the ingredients above)
8 tea biscuits crushed
¼ cup walnuts crushed
1/2 cup coconut flakes fine

Instructions

Date Paste Recipe

Remove the seeds of the pitted whole dates first.
Put the chopped dates in a pot, and add the water.
Bring the pot to medium heat till the dates become soft. This might take up to 5 minutes.
Add the date mixture to the food processor with the water, and blend it well until the paste is formed.
Rub a little coconut oil on your hands to handle the paste and prevent it from being too sticky.

Date and Biscuit Ball Recipe

First, put the date paste in a medium bowl, and then add the crushed tea biscuits and crushed walnuts. You can crush them by placing them in a gallon zip lock back and then crushing them using a masher.
Next, mix all the previous ingredients well using your hands until they become well-combined and you see that they have stuck to the paste.
Then, line a baking sheet and start forming the soft dough balls into ones of 2 inches in size.
Finally, roll the balls in a bowl of coconut flakes and place them on the baking sheet. The balls are ready now.

Notes

If you notice that the date paste is somehow hard, you may add one tablespoon of hot water to the date paste and mix well to make it softer.

Also, adding a little bit of cardamom and cinnamon is a great addition for those who enjoy having a slight tingling, spicy taste.

Refrigerate the date mixture for ten minutes, and then roll it in case it is sticky and hard to work with.
