INGREDIENTS
125 g (¼ block) CLOVER Farmstyle butter
250 g (1 packet) dates, depipped and finely chopped
385 g (1 can) CLOVER condensed milk
180 g pecan nuts, chopped
100 g (½ packet) Marie biscuits, crushed
1 egg, whisked
375 ml (1½ cups) fine coconut (in which to roll the balls)
Method
Melt the butter and the dates over low heat until the dates have softened.
Heat the condensed milk in a saucepan and leave it for 7 minutes from the time it starts bubbling, until it becomes sticky.
Remove from the heat.
Whisk the egg well, and stir it into the hot condensed milk mixture.
Also add the date mixture, Marie biscuits and the nuts.
Let it cool sufficiently for handling.
Scoop up teaspoon-sized quantities of the batter and roll it into balls.
Put the coconut on a plate and roll the balls in it until well covered.
Keep in the fridge for up to 10 days.
