Notes
It’s important to use soft, moist dates in this recipe to bind everything together. If you only have dry dates, you can soak them in hot water for 15 minutes then drain well before using in the recipe.
If you blend everything up and it’s not sticking together, add 1 tsp of water, blend again and repeat as needed until it does. Just a splash of water should do the trick, and only if needed, if your dates were nice and juicy you shouldn’t have a problem!
The cashews can be substituted with pecans, walnuts or almonds.
