Begin by finely chopping the dates, plums, dried cranberries, raisins, dried apricots, walnuts, and almonds. You can use a food processor for this step if you prefer.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the chopped fruits and nuts.
Add in the pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and oat flakes to the bowl and mix everything together until well combined.
Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls or squares. If the mixture is too dry to hold together, you can add a small amount of water or nut butter to help bind everything.
Once all the mixture has been shaped into pieces, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Allow the oriental dessert to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, your healthy oriental dessert is ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
These treats should provide a satisfyingly sweet taste without the added sugar and with plenty of healthful ingredients. Enjoy!
