Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups seedless dates good quality (see notes)
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds I used almond meal
  • 1/2 cup ground cashews I have used cashew meal
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • toppings to your choice

Method
 

  1. Take a pan, thali or cake tin. I have used 7 inch cake tin. 6 inch tin or thali will give you a thicker slice. Line it with grease proof paper (optional).
  2. In a food processor or mixer grinder add the dates and grind it to a fine paste. If required, to it in two batches. Now add the powdered nuts, cocoa powder and vanilla. Process/grind to mix well.
  3. Remove in the pan and spread evenly.
  4. Spread the toppings and slightly press them.
  5. Chill it in the refrigerator. Slice in 8 fractions (like pizza).

Notes

After washing the dates dry them thoroughly. If your dates are not very soft you may have to soak them. I have not soaked the dates as they were fairly soft. You may use only almonds or mix more nuts like hazelnuts or pecans etc. according to your choice. Take care while grinding the almonds and not grinding it so much that it oozes oil..
