No matter what the motivation , i get caught in the middle of my sweet cravings very often. After going Vegan since couple of months ,i naturally crave fruits and nuts but couldn't find a solution to the sweet cravings. Then i recalled this special treat that mom used to make every Diwali (since she hates buying sweets from the stores in the peak season). Made it myself and was wowed with the taste and now they are a must have in my house. Surprisingly hubby loves them too....
Ingredients :
Dates - deseeded about 20 -25
Dried Figs - whole 2-3
Nuts - the ones you like . here i have used - Almonds, Hazelnuts, Walnuts, Brazilian Nuts.
How to prepare :
1. Grind the figs and dates in a mixer and set aside.
2. Grind all the nuts together using the pluse mode to avoid getting them into a powder. You should have a mix of coarse powder and chunky pieces.
3. Mix them together in a bowl. You need to use your hands and press the mixture like you would do with your dough while making bread till the nuts have completely blended in to the dates and fig mixture . Do not over do this step. At this stage it looks like this.....
Now mould it as you desire . I used a silicon mode and got these beautiful pieces
Or simply roll them between you palms
With every bit you have the melt in the mouth sweetness of the dates, the delicious bite of figs and the crunchiness and flavours of the nuts. All natural , easy to make and so fulfilling !!
