These gorgeous bites taste decadent and delicious. They remind me of Middle Eastern halva. Perfect with hot peppermint tea.

Steps

5 mins

1

In a mini mixer attachment on a stand food processor (or a normal size processor if you are increasing the amounts, or chopped by hand if you have neither) pulse/ chop the dates until they are roughly chopped. You will need to.scrape the sides down a few times.
2

Add the honey and mix until it is all sticking together.
3

Put the coconut in a wide shallow bowl.
4

Use two teaspoons to take teaspoonfuls of the mixture and quenelle them into balls. Drop each one onto the coconut.
5

Roll the balls around in the coconut until they are coated in it. If they stick together a bit, just seperate them with your fingers and roll them to coat them in the coconut, at which point they will not stick to each other.
6

Serve on a pretty dish.
