Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 24 pieces Almonds
- 2 tbsp Pistachios
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 tsp Sea salt
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 1 tsp Coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise on one side and remove the pit, ensuring the date remains intact and forms a pocket.
In a small bowl, mix the almonds, pistachios, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sea salt to create the spiced nut filling.
Stuff each date with two almonds and a pinch of chopped pistachios, pressing the filling gently into the cavity. Close the date around the filling as much as possible.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth, stirring to combine.
Dip each stuffed date halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate before it sets for an extra touch of flavor.
Refrigerate the dates for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve the chocolate-dipped dates as a decadent snack or dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
