Looking for a tasty, nutritious alternative to sugar laden sweet treats?  This date roll is delicious and is perfect for a dinner party dessert.

If you like experimenting with ingredients and raw techniques then this date roll with coconut cream is a must for all plant based foodies.  There is no doubt that this takes a little more effort than a brownie, but the results are worth the effort.

This recipe uses tiger nut flour which is a great ingredient for texture and flavour.  It has a natural sweetness and is a source of Folate (B9), Copper, Magnesium, and Vitamin E.

Ingredients for Filling:

  1. 50g Forest Whole Food’s Organic Desiccated Coconut
  2. 20g Forest Whole Food’s Organic Coconut Flour
  3. 1 tbsp Forest Whole Food’s Organic Psyllium Husks
  4. 200g Coconut Cream
  5. 2 tbsp Honey

Method:

  1. Start by making the Coconut Cream. Put the Desiccated coconut and Flour into a food processor and mix them together.
  2. Add the Honey and Coconut Cream to the mixture and pulse in the food processor a few times until the mixture is combined.
  3. Add the Psyllium Husks and combine.  Put the cream to one side.
  4. Place all the ingredients for the Roll into the food processor, and mix them until combined.
  5. Spread the “dough” between two sheets of baking paper, and start to roll the dough length ways into a long roll. It is best to do this when the dough is fresh and soft.
  6. Sprinkle the outside edge of the dough with desiccated coconut, and turn the sheet over to add the filling.
  7. Spread the coconut cream over the Date Dough and slowly start to roll up with the baking paper.
  8. Place the completed roll in the fridge overnight.
  9. On the next day you can easily slice your roll and enjoy!
