Ingredients

Method

    1. Peel (if needed) and finely chop the nuts. Chop the dates into small pieces.
    2. Toast the nuts in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Set aside a portion of the pistachios for garnish.
    3. Melt the coconut oil in a nonstick pot. Add the chopped dates and stir constantly until they soften and form a thick paste, about 5 minutes. Stir in the toasted nuts and sesame seeds. Add the cardamom and a pinch of salt. Gently fold everything together until the nuts are well coated with the date paste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
    4. Shape the mixture into a cylinder and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, pressing to form a "sweet log" shape.
    5. Garnish with the reserved chopped pistachios, poppy seeds, and shredded coconut. Wrap again in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
    6. Unwrap and slice into portions.

Tips

For best results, keep the log wrapped and refrigerated for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up before slicing.
