Preparation
Chef’s notes
DATES – My favorite dates are from Trader Joe’s because they’re always really soft and sweet. But if you don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you or your dates are a bit dry, soak them in hot water for about 20 minutes before use. Then drain as much liquid as possible before blending. You may need to add a couple extra tablespoons of almond flour to make up for the added moisture, but only add the excess at the very end so you can assess how wet or dry the dough is first.
