Ingredients

1 fruit leather
1½ cups walnut, almond, or poppy seed
½ cup dates
2 tablespoons cocoa or carob
Sprinkle of raisins or dried fruit
½ cup water

Recipe Directions

1. For the leather, process fruit in food processor or juicer. I use apple or plums, but you can make it from any fruit.

2. Spread it onto the dryer sheets and dehydrate.

3. After about 8 hours, turn it over and dry for another few hours, until soft, leathery, and not too dry.

4. For the rest, blend ingredients in food processor into a thick creamy paste. Play with quantities, spices, and ingredients.

5. Spread it onto fruit leather to desired thickness.

6 .Sprinkle dried fruit on it. Roll it up (a bit like sushi).

Notes:

The given quantities for the ingredients are approximate, play with them yourself.

You can let it sit for a little while but it is great to eat right then.

So far so good.

We used a banana crepe (bananas, flax, vanilla). Filled some of it with the cocao mix, some of it with no cocao, and some with nuts, apples and raisins.

We are hungarian too.

This sounds really good. I made similar raw beigli for last Christmas and Easter. It was a real success. I'm from Hungary too.

Thanks for sharing this recipe!
