Pour warm water just enough to cover them. Soak for about 15 minutes till dates become soft. Drain extra water completely. Make Date Paste Add soaked dates to a mixer jar. Grind to a smooth, thick paste. If needed, add 1–2 tsp of the soaking water – bas itna hi, paste thick hi rehna chahiye. Dry Roast the Cashews Heat a pan on low flame. Add cashews and dry roast for 3–4 minutes. Stir continuously; colour halka sa change ho and nice aroma aaye, then switch off. Cool them completely. Grind Cashews Once cool, add cashews to mixer. Pulse/grind into a fine powder. Don’t over-grind, warna oil release hoke paste ban sakta hai. Crush the Cornflakes Add cornflakes to mixer or crush by hand. Grind coarsely – bilkul powder nahi, thoda texture rehne do for crunch. Mix All Dry Ingredients In a big mixing bowl, add: Cashew powder Crushed cornflakes Cocoa powder Lemon zest Mix very well so everything is evenly combined. Add Date Paste & Make Dough Add the prepared date paste to the dry mixture. Start mixing with a spatula or hands. Thoda press karte huye mix karo till it comes together like a soft dough. If it feels too dry, you can add 1–2 tsp more date paste or a few drops water. If too sticky, add a little more crushed cornflakes. Shape the Energy Bites Take a small portion (about 1 tbsp) of the dough. Shape into square bites or round balls – jo shape pasand ho. Place each piece on a plate lined with butter paper / parchment paper. Press one cashew half on top of each (optional). Chill to Set Keep the shaped bites in the fridge for 15–20 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes coating easy. Melt the Dark Chocolate Chop dark chocolate into small pieces. Melt using double boiler (bain-marie) or in microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring in between. Chocolate should be smooth and flowing, not too hot. Coat the Bites Dip each chilled bite into melted chocolate. Using a fork, lift and let extra chocolate drip off. Place back on parchment paper. Optionally drizzle a little extra chocolate on top for design. Final Set & Serve Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes. Once set, your No Bake Energy Bites with Dates are ready to serve! Storage Store in an airtight container. In cool weather: room temperature for 2–3 days.
