Mmmmm. Dates and walnuts. What more could you ask for? This recipe has become a go-to for me. I don't remember where I got this recipe from initially, but these days, I make it a lot. It never fails and is delicious. It can be served hot with custard or cream (vegan of course!) or cold as an afternoon treat with a cup of tea. It has no sugar in it but is lovely and sweet and almost healthy! Trust me and try it!
