Featuring luscious Medjool dates filled with a rich blend of unsweetened almond butter, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and a hint of vanilla, this no-cook recipe is ready in just 15 minutes and completely dairy-free. A light sprinkle of sea salt balances the sweetness, while optional coconut or almond coatings elevate texture and presentation. These wholesome morsels can be served chilled or at room temperature, making them a versatile addition to your spread. Perfect for healthy snacking, dessert tables, or even a quick energy boost, these stuffed dates are a delicious way to satisfy your cravings without compromising on flavor.
Begin by preparing the dates. Using a sharp knife, make a small incision from top to bottom of each date and remove the pits. Be careful not to cut them all the way through.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Take about a teaspoon of the almond butter mixture and stuff it into each date, pressing gently to ensure it fills the cavity. If desired, you can overstuff slightly for an extra indulgent treat.
Once all dates are filled, you may optionally roll them in more shredded coconut or crushed almonds for additional texture and flavor.
Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving platter and refrigerate them for at least 10 minutes to set. This step is optional but recommended for a firmer texture.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delightful dairy-free snack or dessert. Enjoy!
