Tips
Fresh or dried dates can be used for this recipe
If creamed cottage cheese is unavailable, simply sieve normal cottage cheese before use.
If a food processor is unavailable, finely chop the dates and combine thoroughly with other ingredients.
A square tin can be used for this recipe. The cooking time in this case could probably be reduced by 5-10 minutes.
