Date Squares image

I made some last night and thought I would share with you my own recipe Most recipes suggest to put sugar along with the dates, but I don't add sugar, dates are sweet enough!! These were also a big hit when I had my catering service and was one of Ottawa's most famous Gelato store's Piccolo Grande's best seller!!!

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These were so easy to make and they turned out so good! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they still came out perfect.

I've made these date squares a few times now and they always turn out perfectly. They're the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the crust is always flaky and delicious.
