Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews
5 dates I use Medjool
3 cardamoms skinned and seeds crushed or ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
½ teaspoon rose water

Instructions

Crush cardamoms in a mortar and pestle and pit and halve dates. Set aside.
Put cashews in a food processor and blitz till you get a grainy, sandy texture. Next, add the crushed cardamom, rose water, and pitted and halved dates. Process till everything is fully incorporated.
Take a handful at a time and roll the mix with your palms until you get a ping-pong-sized ball. Lay onto a plate and keep going till the mixture is done.

Notes

Make sure to crush the cardamom seeds fully before adding them to the processor so that they are evenly distributed in the mix.
Use raw cashews for the best results.
You can use Deglet Noor or any other soft date if you can't find Medjool.
