Dates & Dry Fruit Rolls

Sugar Free Date Rolls

Sweets with dried fruits and nuts is one of my favorites during festive seasons. At times when all milk based sweets look and taste similar, it feels good to munch upon something more natural and healthy. These sweets takes does not take much time to cook and can be prepared in the last minute of festive rush hours.

Ingredients;

(make 20 small rolls)

• 20 black dates
• 2 tbsp. ghee
• 10-12 almonds
• 10-12 Pistachios
• 2 tbsp Poppy seeds or desiccated coconut

Method; De-seed all the dates and finely chop into small pieces. Chop almonds and Pistachios.

Heat ghee in a non-stick pan and add chopped dates in it. Cook for about 6-7 minutes until the dates turn into soft lump.

Remove the pan from heat and add chopped nuts and mix well. Divide the soft dough into 7-8 small portions and shape them into rolls.

Spread the poppy seeds or desiccated coconut in a flat plate and coat each date roll with it. Refrigerate all the rolls for a few hours before serving.

Refrigerate these rolls for longer shelf life.

You can add dried fruits and nuts of your choice to make these rolls.
