Ingredients:
16 tablespoons desiccated coconut
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
Olive oil
Spices (optional): vanilla, cardamom, rose petals, and a pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Mix tahini and honey:
In a bowl, combine the tahini and honey until smooth.
2. Add coconut and seeds:
Add the desiccated coconut and mix well. Then add pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and the optional spices. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
3. Prepare the tray:
Take a small rectangular dish and line it completely with aluminum foil, covering both the bottom and sides. Lightly grease the foil with olive oil.
4. Spread the mixture:
Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared dish and use a spoon to flatten it into a thin, even layer. Cover the dish and place it in the freezer for about 1 hour until it sets.
5. Cut into pieces:
After an hour, remove the dish from the freezer. Lift the dessert with the foil, invert it, and peel off the foil. Use a knife to cut the dessert into small rectangular pieces.
6. Serve:
Enjoy this treat before a meal or as an afternoon snack with a digestive herbal tea. Store in the refrigerator, as it can soften at room temperature.
