Grind cashews and almonds in a dry mixer/grinder ( picture 1).

Separate out the bigger pieces of nuts from the finer particles ( picture 2 & 3).

Mix togather the big nut pieces and dates mash, with your hands to make a nice stiff dough kind of batter (picture 4).

SHAPE

Take small chunks of the prepared dough/batter and shape them with your hands or cookie cutters as you wish (picture 1).

Since the dough is quite sticky it wont take much effort to coat these bites/cookies with the fine cashew+almond particles (picture 2).

DIP

Blend mango chunks and cashews. Add water accordingly to adjust the consistency. Yummy dreamy creamy mango dip is ready to be served with your sweet bites/cookies. Do not add sugar to this mix as it is introduced to nullify the extra sweetness of dates. So enjoy this dip in its mild sweet flavour!

SERVE
