Place the dates in a bowl with the orange rind and juice, mix well and leave to stand for 3-4 hours, to allow the dates to soak up the juice.

Blitz 50g of the pistachios in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. Sprinkle onto a large plate or chopping board.

Place all of the remaining ingredients, including the soaked dates, into the food processor and pulse until the mixture starts to come together – don’t over process as you want to have some texture to the bites.

Using wet hands, roll the mixture into balls roughly the size of a walnut.

Roll each ball in the pistachio crumbs to roughly coat them.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
