Method

  1. First, make sure the nuts (cashews, pistachios, and hazelnuts) are unroasted and unsalted. Grind them in a food processor until they become a fine mixture.
  2. Add the sugar to the nut mixture along with rose water and orange blossom water. Mix until you have a smooth dough. Fill it with soft date paste mixed with a little rose water and oil.
  3. Place a cashew inside each piece of dough filled with dates, as shown in the accompanying photos, and shape the date-and-cashew maamoul using the special maamoul mold.
  4. Leave the maamoul pieces on a tray for about 12 hours until they dry and become firm.
  5. This recipe does not require refrigeration, freezing, or baking.
