Ingredients

50g butter

250g pitted dates, finely chopped

50g granulated sugar

20g chopped pistachios

20g chopped almonds

20g chopped cashews

50g Marie biscuits or digestive biscuits, broken into pieces

sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan on a low heat and add the dates and sugar. Cook until the dates soften and start to look mushy. This will take 8–10 minutes. Add the chopped nuts and biscuits and stir everything together.
  2. Take a sheet of baking paper and lay out flat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and place the date mixture on top. Roll into a log shape, using the paper to help make a tight roll. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour until firm, then cut into 1cm slices. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 weeks.
