Ingredients

Units Scale

Armenian Coffee Ingredients

  • 2 espresso cups of Water
  • 2 heaping Teaspoons Armenian Coffee - (Finely ground coffee)
  • 1 Teaspoon Grandulated Sugar

Date Pastry Ingredients

  • 40 Pitted Dates
  • 3 cups of Walnuts (keep 1 cup for outer crushed effect)
  • Brewed Armenian Coffee
  • 60z (15 count) Milano Dark Chocolate Cookies
  • 1 cup Meltable White Chocolate Chips
  • 2 Tablespoons of 100% Coco powder

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 espresso cups of water into your coffee pot. Add coffee and sugar, stirring until clumps disappear. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Once it foams and rises, remove from the heat quickly. Pour into a bowl and let cool. Note: Coffee grounds will settle at the bottom; that’s what you want.
  2. In a food processor, blend walnuts and dates into a soft paste. Place the paste on parchment, cover with another sheet, and gently press with your hands. Roll into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
  3. Remove the top parchment and trim edges. Lightly dip cookies into the cooled coffee and line them along the edge of the date paste. Roll inward, folding twice. Add another cookie layer on top and roll again twice. Slice down the extra date paste for a second roll if desired. The remaining date paste works well with one cookie layer.
  4. Roll the assembled roll over crushed walnuts, pressing lightly so they stick. Pat down evenly, keeping the bottom flat. Gently press a shallow well along the center using a thin rolling pin, while supporting the roll with your fingertips to keep its shape.
  5. Melt white chocolate in the microwave. Reserve 4 tablespoons, mix with cocoa powder for a chocolate drizzle. Pipe white chocolate into the center well, then drizzle cocoa chocolate in ½-inch lines over the roll. Note: Chocolate should flow smoothly; don’t over-squeeze. Use a thin stick or knife tip to drag across the lines in a smooth motion for an elegant pattern. Let the chocolate sit for a few minutes before cutting, or refrigerate and cut later with a warm knife. Enjoy!
