Place the pitted Medjool dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste.
Add the walnuts to the food processor and pulse until they are finely ground and fully incorporated with the dates.
Add almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Pulse again until the mixture forms a cohesive dough-like consistency.
Transfer the mixture onto a flat surface or parchment paper. Shape it into a rectangular log, pressing it down firmly with your hands or using a rolling pin.
Sprinkle the desiccated coconut on the parchment paper, then gently roll the log over it to coat the outside evenly.
Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to set.
Once chilled, remove the wrap and slice the Turkish Roll into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
