Sugar Free Date Roll Recipe
Step 1: Start by soaking the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them. Once softened, drain the water and remove any remaining pits. You should now have soft, sticky dates ready for blending.
Step 2: Blend the dates into a smooth, sticky paste using a food processor. If needed, add a teaspoon of water to help blend it into a smooth consistency.
Step 3: In a pan, dry roast the chopped almonds and cashews on low heat for a couple of minutes until they turn slightly golden. This step adds a beautiful roasted flavor to your dry fruit roll recipe.
Step 4: Transfer the date paste to a bowl and add the roasted nuts along with Sweetify stevia sweetener. Mix everything together until well-combined. The Sweetify sweetener adds the perfect level of sweetness without the added sugars.
Step 5: Take small portions of the date mixture and roll them into small logs or balls, depending on your preference. Once shaped, roll them in desiccated coconut for that extra flavor and texture.
Step 6: Store the date rolls in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. These little delights are now ready to be enjoyed!
A delicious treat that's naturally sweet!
