Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 50 grams Chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise to create an opening, ensuring you do not cut all the way through. Remove the pit from each date.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will be used to cool the chocolate-stuffed dates after assembly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, break the dark chocolate into small pieces and microwave it in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Using a small spoon, fill each pitted date with approximately a teaspoon of the melted dark chocolate.
Immediately sprinkle a small pinch of chopped almonds onto the chocolate in each date. Press gently so they adhere to the chocolate.
Lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the almonds and chocolate for added flavor contrast.
Place the stuffed dates on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let the chocolate-stuffed dates set at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or you can refrigerate them for a quicker setting time.
Once the chocolate has fully set, these can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a quick snack or dessert.
