Step 1

In a food processor, combine all of the dough ingredients, processing until dough forms. If for some reason the dough is too dry, add in 1-2 tbsp milk, as needed, until a uniform dough forms. It should be soft and workable without sticking to your hands.

Step 2

Roll the dough out into a rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. You'll want it about 1/2" thick.

Step 3

Add all of the filling ingredients, besides the pecans, to the food processor.

Step 4

Process a minute or two until completely smooth and no date lumps remain. You may need to stop and scrape down the processor to get things to move along. If for some reason your mixture won't blend, add another tbsp of water.

Step 5

Spread the filling out over the dough, leaving about 1/2-1" from the edges, so it doesn't ooze out. Sprinkle over the chopped pecans. Use the parchment paper to roll the dough up into a log. Squeeze the ends of the parchment paper, making it almost look like a tootsie roll and place the log in the freezer for 45 minutes to an hour.

Step 6

Once the log is firm, cut into slices. Top with some melted white chocolate for an extra treat! Then store in an air-tight container in the fridge.
