Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces chopped dried dates
hot water as needed
¼ cup toasted sesame seeds, divided
¼ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup whole raw almonds
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon coconut oil
¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Place dates in a small bowl and completely cover with hot water. Allow to soak until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, but reserve soaking liquid.
  • Combine soaked dates, 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, walnuts, almonds, coconut, coconut oil, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of a large food processor. Pulse several times until mixture comes together to form a soft "dough," scraping down the sides as necessary. If mixture is too dry, add in some of the reserved soaking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Turn out dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Roll into a 10-inch long by 1 1/2-inch wide log using lightly greased hands. Sprinkle remaining toasted sesame seeds evenly over the log on all sides, pressing them in gently. Wrap the log in parchment paper, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 to 2 hours.
  • Remove log from fridge, and cut into about sixteen 1/2-inch thick rounds. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

These rolls are the perfect make-ahead snack. I made a batch on Sunday and they lasted me all week.

I had a hard time finding date paste. I ended up using chopped dates, which worked fine.

The rolls were a little dry. I think I would add some more butter or oil to the dough next time.

I thought these rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. The rolls were chewy and flavorful. I will definitely be making them again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the rolls turned out great. They were a little sticky, but that's to be expected with date rolls.

I've tried many sesame date roll recipes, but this one is by far the best. The rolls were perfectly chewy and flavorful.
