Cooking

Step 1

To prepare these sweets, you will need a powerful blender and a vegetable / fruit dryer. But even those who do not have these gadgets will be able to replace the blender with a meat grinder, the dryer with an oven. All dried fruits must be washed and dried well.

Step 2

We put the dates in a blender and grind to a viscous mass (or pass through the fine grate of a meat grinder twice).

Step 3

Grind the nuts in a blender until fine crumbs, add sesame seeds to the nut mixture.

Step 4

We put the remaining dried fruits in a blender, add the lemon cut into slices and grind.

Step 5

Next, combine the dates, dried fruits and nut mixture. We mix. It turns out a very plastic mass. We pinch off in small pieces, roll the balls, put them on the dryer grate (or on a baking sheet). It is advisable to dry the balls, I strongly advise you not to neglect this moment, then the sweets will turn out to be generally class!

Step 6

It is necessary to dry in a dryer at 70 degrees for about 6-8 hours. Thus, a thin crust is formed, and the inside is plastic and viscous. If there is no dryer, then dry in the oven at a minimum temperature (50-70 degrees).

Step 7

Ready-made balls, I propose to glaze and decorate as desired. In a water bath, drown your favorite chocolate (I have milk), with a toothpick or, as I do - with a wooden skewer - we prick the ball and glaze, shake off the excess chocolate. Decorate as you wish

Step 8

We put the finished sweets in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens. I will say right away - you will have to tinker with these sweets. But the result is worth it, really!
