Dadelvingers
Ingrédients
- 250 g pitted dates, finely chopped
- 125 g butter
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 packet Marie biscuits, crushed
- 1 cup desiccated coconut (plus extra for coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the dates: Chop the dates into small pieces and set aside.
- Make the date mixture: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar and dates, stirring until the dates soften and the mixture becomes sticky.
- Add the egg and vanilla: Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the beaten egg and vanilla essence. Return to low heat and stir for a few minutes until combined.
- Combine with biscuits: Add the crushed biscuits and coconut to the date mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Shape the dadelvingers: Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Shape into small finger-sized pieces or press into a lined dish and cut into bars.
- Coat with coconut: Roll each piece in extra coconut until fully covered.
- Chill: Place in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours until firm.
