Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Medjool dates
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Crushed pistachios
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise on one side to create a pocket and remove the pits. Set the prepared dates aside.
In a food processor, combine the raw almonds, powdered sugar, orange blossom water, and ground cinnamon. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse, sticky paste.
Take about a teaspoon of the almond mixture and roll it into a small, cylindrical shape. Stuff it into the pocket of a prepared date. Repeat this process for all the dates.
Divide the toppings (shredded coconut, crushed pistachios, and sesame seeds) into separate shallow bowls.
Gently roll the exposed almond filling of the stuffed dates into one of the toppings, coating it evenly. Alternate between the different toppings for variety.
Arrange the finished Moroccan Stuffed Dates on a serving platter. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to three days.
