Notes
Both Noor and Medjool dates work for this recipe. They have slightly different flavors and textures, but this recipe works for both. Noor is a little less sweet than Medjool dates. Use what you prefer or have. I have yet to try this recipe with other varieties (there are over 200), but feel free to experiment!
To soak dates, use enough water to cover them. For the blending process, use just 1 cup of reserved date water.
