Ingredients:
3 Tbs. coconut or almond oil
16 Mejdool dates (remove the pits by slicing the dates open length wise)
*10 chopped almonds
*(Soak about 10 almonds for an hour or overnight and peel the skins before chopping)
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
In a non stick pan add the oil and pitted dates and cook on medium heat stirring constantly. In about 10 minutes the dates should be soft enough to mash with the stirring spoon. Continue to cook them as you mash them till you get a smooth dough like consistency for another 5 minutes. You may need to adjust the cooking time. Add the almonds and mix well.
Remove from heat and set aside till the dough is cool enough to handle.
Rub a little coconut or almond oil or on a non stick cookie tray and your hands and place the date dough on the cookie tray to shape it into a log about 10 inches long and about 1 inch in diameter.
Then sprinkle the coconut flakes on the tray and roll it again to cover the roll evenly.
Transfer the roll to a container and cover it with saran wrap and place in the fridge for an hour or longer.
Cut into 1/4 inch slices.
Makes about 10 or 12 slices.
Serving size: 1 slice
