Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Remove log from fridge, and cut into about sixteen 1/2-inch thick rounds. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 2
Place dates in a small bowl and completely cover with hot water. Allow to soak until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, and reserve soaking liquid.
Step 3
Combine soaked dates, 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, walnuts, almonds, coconut, coconut oil, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of a large food processor. Pulse several times until mixture comes together to form 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.
Step 4
Turn out dough on a piece of parchment paper. Roll into a 10-inch long by 1 1/2-inch wide log using lightly greased hands. Sprinkle remaining toasted sesame seeds evenly over log on all sides, pressing them in gently. Wrap log in parchment paper, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 to 2 hours.
