Source : Chef Rahat

Ingredients :
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup Icing sugar
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 3 to 4 tbsp.  cream
  • 20 - 24 whole dates, soft
  • 20 - 24 whole almonds
  • 1/2 cup chocolate, chopped
  • Extra desiccated coconut or nuts, for topping
    Method :
    • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in Icing sugar.
    • Add coconut and cream; cook, stirring frequently until it can be rolled into a ball.
    • Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool until easy to handle.
    • Cut a slit into each date. Remove the pits and replace with an almond.
    • Divide the coconut mixture into 20 to 24 portions. 
    • Press each portion between the palms of your hands to form a patty. 
    • Place one date in the center, fold the edges up and around the date to completely cover it. Make a smooth ball.
    • Repeat with the remaining mixture and dates.
    • Place balls on paper lined baking trays and refrigerate / freeze until firm. 
    • Melt chocolate in a double-boiler, stirring constantly till the chocolate begins to melt. 
    • Dip each ball into melted chocolate, using a fork, turning to completely coat; tap off excess chocolate. 
    • Place on paper lined baking trays. Sprinkle desiccated coconut on top.
    • Refrigerate or freeze until set.
    • Place in paper cups and refrigerate again until serving.


     Notes :
    • You can replace whole almonds with chopped nuts.
    • Dates should be dried well before coating or it will not hold the coating.
    • When dipping in melted chocolate, take out only few balls at a time from the freezer to keep the balls from getting soft.
