The date balls enjoyed with the sweet and savory coconut milk add a wonderful flavor. The touch of coconut milk gives the sauce a creamy and delicious texture, plus the chewiness of the date balls brings out the natural sweetness of the dates.
Hey vegan lovers, how about today I invite you to make one of my unusual desserts. Sweet date balls with a thick coconut milk sauce add to the deliciousness of this special dessert.
Date Balls
Date balls are processed dates stirred with flour then cooked in thick coconut milk until cooked and thickened into a savory and delicious sauce that can be enjoyed after enjoying heavy dishes during certain events.
Well in my area, dishes like this are indeed a mainstay of our family during the fasting month like yesterday. But after the Eid celebration we usually fast again for 6 days known as Shawwal fasting. Therefore, I took the initiative to make sweet food like this date compote.
Ingredients Used
11 date seeds
5 tablespoons sugar
400 ml thick coconut milk
150 grams tapioca flour
2 spoons of wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
Making Procedure
Step 1
Fruit the date seeds, then cut the dates into small pieces so that they are easily crushed when soaked.
Step 2
Boil water until it boils then put water into the small pieces of dates soak until the dates are completely soft.
Step 3
After soft, chop the dates until smooth or until it is easy to stir with flour.
Step 4
Prepare the dates that have been chopped earlier then add salt, then stir with flour until evenly mixed.
Step 5
After the dough can be shaped, form a large round dough according to taste. Then cut the other 5 dates to stir in the sauce.
Step 6
Cook the coconut milk then add sugar and salt then add the dates.
Step 7
Cook and add the date balls let the coconut milk thicken and cook completely.
Result
The date balls are ready to be served warm or cold, both are delicious. Serve in a serving bowl, for this recipe you visa get 2 to 3 servings of date balls with coconut milk sauce. The portion is very sufficient especially with the chewy texture of the balls plus the natural sweetness of the dates.
What I like the most is when the date balls are combined in coconut milk sauce with pieces of dates adding a very unique flavor. With the savory coconut milk and the distinctive and sweet aroma of dates, I really liked it.
