How many of you can stop eating an evening snack? I cannot :( Evening snack with a cup of tea/coffee is my weakness. To feel less guilty I just try to make healthy snacks most of the time. Today's snack is one of those guilt free snacks. It just takes 10 mts to prepare these yummy fudge.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups of chopped pitted dates
1/2 cup of walnuts roughly chopped
1/2 cup of almonds roughly chopped ( You can add any other nuts like pistachios/cashews too.)
pinch of sea salt (optional)
Procedure
Step 1: In a food processor, process all nuts coarsely( I like it coarse. If you want you can finely process)
Step 2: Remove the nut mixture and keep it aside.
Step 3: In the same food processor / indian mixer, process chopped dates coarsely. Now add nut mixture pulse till you achieve dough consistency. ( you can check by pressing the dough into your hands and it should hold together. )
Step 4: Add dough on the parchment paper or wax paper on a baking sheet or pan and distribute the mixture evenly and press with your hands until flat and firm.
Step 5: Keep baking sheet in the refrigerator for few hours to chill. Cut into whatever the shape you want and store these yummy fudge in air tight container.
These can stay fresh for 10 days in refrigerator.

Sailaja,
ReplyDeleteThis looks really goood. Any ideas on how to do this without the food processor ? I have a grinder, but doubt it could process the dates.
Swathi, You can use indian mixer too. I used indian mixer only
ReplyDeleteThis is the bestest, healthy, and filling sweet that I have seen in a while. I would love this healthy dish for my event @ my blog. Please do send it.
ReplyDeleteNuts and dates, my favourite combination:) I already had some date-nut-coconut treats last night, but after seeing your gorgeous pictures I want more:)
ReplyDeleteI love this fudge snack and even if we can't eat all that we've made it can still be fresh when putting inside the refrigerator.
