Ingredients

  • 250 g Date, fresh or dried

  • 150 g Powdered sugar

  • 100 g Walnuts

  • 1 spoon Alcohol, Rum

  • 1.5 spoons Sugar, white

  • 80 g Cooking chocolate, unsweetened

  • 4 spoon chocolate, dark

Steps

  1. First, remove the pits from the dates, then cut them into smaller pieces and finely grind them in a food processor. Prepare a large bowl and mix the dates with powdered sugar.

  2. On a work surface dusted with powdered sugar, knead the date mixture well and roll it out to a thickness of 0.5 cm. Cut the prepared mixture into smaller squares.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix sugar, rum, and ground nuts into a thick paste. Place a teaspoon of the prepared mixture on each square and shape into balls.

  4. Prepare a water bath. Place a small pot of water on the stove, bring it to a boil, and place a metal bowl on top, ensuring it doesn't touch the water. Break the chocolate into the bowl and melt it while stirring. Remove the bowl from the heat.

  5. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, then roll it in chocolate sprinkles. Arrange the balls on a tray and place them in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to cool and set. Then serve them to your guests.
