Dear Friend,

We hope you had a restful weekend. As you prepare for a new week, consider making a simple dessert to brighten up your days. Need an idea? How about the recipe below?

 

 

OSEM TEA BISCUIT DATE SQUARES

 

Ingredients:

5 and quarter oz pareve margarine
8 oz dates (chopped and stoned) 
6 oz  Osem biscuits (made in Israel; can be purchased at Stop and Shop)
I egg (if not comfortable with using a raw egg, use pasteurized egg white instead)
Coconut flakes

Method:

Melt the sugar and margarine in a pan. Add the dates which have been chopped into the pan and cook on a gentle heat until the dates soften. Mix with a  wooden spoon. Remove the date mixture. Beat an egg and mix it into the mixture very quickly. Break up the tea biscuits and add them to the date mixture. Turn it all  into a greased tray and leave for few hours to set. Cut into squares and roll in coconut flakes.

Enjoy!
