I got this from 4 ingrediants cookbook. It is 1/2 pureed date and 1/2 sour cream.
I do:
1 cup of pureed dates (TMX S8 10 secs or until desired consistancy)
1 c natural greek yogurt
some orange zest or vanilla
some ground linseeds/almonds/walnuts/sunflower/pumpkin/seame - whatever you have that you want to chuck in - maybe 2tbsp
some chia seeds if you want - this will make it set more if you want a firmer mix
Mix it all up TMX S5 10 secs
I serve with apple, carrot and celery sticks and rice cakes. It is a great sweet treat that gets you through the 3.30pm slump.
You could do silky tofu instead of yogurt if you wanted it dairy free. And can easily leave the nuts out for kindy.
To make it easier to do the dates - soaking in hot water for 10 mins (then draining the water) will result in a smoother, easier to mix dip.

CP - A cup of pureed dates equals about 300g fresh dates (at the unpitted stage) or about 18 dates. I added sesame seeds, chia (1 tbsn), sunflower seeds and almonds and ground them a bit on Speed 8, 4 seconds - but you could probably throw them in for the last few seconds when you are pureeing the dates. It is very tasty, chunky and you get the sweetness of dates and hint of orange. Love it, and can see myself making it more often. Thank you zebraa

Yum, that sounds great. Will have to try for afternoon tea sometime, or "dessert".

It's really worth doing. It is amazingly good.
Pureed dates keep forever in the fridge too. So it is a good thing to have there and the kids can then assemble it themselves which adds a whole nother dimension - keeps then occupied, interested and very proud!

yes, this would be a good idea to stop "the 3pm munchies" ;D A cup of pureed dates equals about 300g fresh dates (at the unpitted stage) or about 18 dates.
