These date & pistachio rolls are the perfect healthier sweet treat that takes no time at all to prepare! You only need a handful of ingredients to make them and they're so moreish!
Ingredients
- 150g pistachios divided
- 400g Medjool dates* chopped
- 2 tbsp tahini**
- 1 tsp cardamom I used East End
- 1 tsp cinnamon I used East End
- 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Dry toast the pistachios in a pan for 5-7 mins.
- Roughly chop 100g of the pistachios to use in the filling. Blend the remaining 50g into a fine crumbs in a food processor to use later for the coating.

- Take off the heat and fold in the spices, cocoa, salt and pistachios.
- Roll out into a long log over a piece of baking paper, sprinkle the ground up pistachios onto the baking paper and roll the long over it to coat.
- Freeze for 30-60 mins to make it easier to slice.
- Slice into discs and enjoy.
Notes
* Soft dates work best as they're easier to mash. If you're using a dry date variety, you'll need to soak them in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them.
** Runny tahini works best. I always use Lebanese tahini as it has the best consistency for desserts/baking. You can get them from Asian/ethnic shops or online.
You can store them at room temperature in an air-tight container or in the fridge. I prefer eating them cold from the fridge.
