Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 100 grams Unsweetened dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional: almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the dates: Using a small knife, make a slit on one side of each Medjool date and remove the pits. Set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsweetened dark chocolate and the butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Once the chocolate and butter are melted, stir in the almond flour, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined and smooth.
Optional: Toast the chopped nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until fragrant, stirring frequently. Allow to cool slightly before using.
Spoon a small amount of the chocolate mixture into each date, filling the cavity where the pit was removed. Use a small spoon or piping bag to make this easier.
If using, gently press a few toasted nuts into the chocolate filling inside each date.
Place the stuffed dates on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
Serve the dates chilled or at room temperature as a delicious low-carb treat.
