Method

1
Combine the chopped pitted dates, lemon juice, and freshly grated lemon zest in a food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes a coarse paste with small date pieces still visible.
2
Add the raw walnuts to the food processor and pulse until the mixture reaches a crumbly, sandy texture with walnut pieces incorporated throughout.
3
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and fold in the sesame seeds and unsweetened dried coconut flakes until evenly distributed.
4
Refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly, making it easier to shape.
