Ingredients

250g

Pitted Dates

100g

Boiling Water (if necessary – see recipe below)

80g

1cup (100g)

Finely chopped nuts – almonds or cashews

1.4 tsp

Cardamom, ground

 

Chop the dates and then pulse them in a food processor. If the dates remain chunky, then soak them in boiling water and pulse again to form a paste.  If they form a paste first time you pulse it, then soaking is not necessary. Pulse to a paste.
