INGREDIENTS
FOR BITES (refer to picture 1) :
1. One cup ripe dates
2. Half cup cashews
3. Half cup almonds
FOR DIP (refer to picture 2)
1. One cup cashews
2. One cup ripe mango
MASH DATES
Mash / grind dates preferably with a hand grinder.
DATES × NUTS
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
Refridgerate both the items for a while. Serve the sweet bites with dreamy creamy dip, chilled :)
