Instructions
- 1 Place dates in a small bowl; completely cover with hot water. Soak until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain; reserve soaking liquid.
- 2 Combine soaked dates, almonds, coconut, walnuts, 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, coconut oil, vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt in the bowl of a large food processor; pulse several times until mixture forms a soft "dough," scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. If mixture is too dry, add reserved soaking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- 3 Turn dough out onto a piece of parchment paper; roll into a 10-inch-long by 1 1/2-inch-wide log using lightly greased hands. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds evenly on all sides of dough log, pressing them in gently. Wrap log in parchment paper; refrigerate until firm, at least 1 to 2 hours.
- 4 Cut log into about sixteen 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
