We’re still turning page after page of Ayesha Erkin’s recipe book Date of the Day, featuring 30+ recipes for the humble date. Our dear friend Ayesha has now kindly shared another recipe for you to make at home – timely for breaking fast and after.
METHOD
Step 1
Soak the dates in rose water for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, prepare the pistachio paste. Boil water in a saucepan and place the pistachios in there for 2 minutes, or until the skin seems to peel off easily. Drain and peel the skins off. You can also use store-bought pistachio paste.
Step 3
In a food processor, combine the pistachios, 1 tsp rose water, salt, and water, and blend until a paste forms.
Step 4
Next, dry the dates with a paper towel to remove excess moisture so that the chocolate will stick. Fill each date with the pistachio paste.
Step 5
Dip each date in the white chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Sprinkle rose petals on top of each date. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set. Enjoy!
We hope this recipe adds sweetness to your Iftar. Ramadan Kareem to you and your loved ones, and happy feasting.
