Description

A fabulous Kosher for Passover dessert. Indulgence in every bite!
Kosher, Pareve, or dairy

Ingredients

  • 1 Granny Smith apple peeled and grated thinly
  • 20 units (200-300g) Medjool dates without the pits
  • 1/3 cup (50g) raw almonds unsalted
  • 1/3 cup (50g) raw walnuts unsalted
  • 1/4 Teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) sweet wine, like Manischewitz or grape juice/apple juice
  • optional ground ginger, cloves, and nutmeg to taste

For coating:

  • 7 oz (200g) Kosher for Passover dark chocolate
  • 1 Teaspoon neural oil like vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Combine grated apple, dates, almonds, walnuts, and cinnamon in a food processor.
  • Pulse the mixture until the nuts and dates are thoroughly pureed.
  • Add sweet red wine or grape juice and pulse until well combined, achieving a sticky and uniform consistency.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, enhancing flavor with more cinnamon if desired.

Forming the Balls:

  • Scoop small portions of the mixture with damp hands and roll them into bite-sized balls.
  • Refrigerate the Charoset balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Chocolate Coating:

  • Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or by using a double boiler until smooth. Add a teaspoon of oil and mix well.
  • Dip each date ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coating. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  • Carefully place chocolate-coated Charoset balls on a parchment paper-lined tray.
  • Chill to Set: Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and let the chocolate coating set for about 1-2 hours.
