Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 3 oz Dark chocolate chips (ensure nut-free)
- 2 tbsp Coconut cream
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Sea salt
- 2 tbsp Desiccated coconut
Instructions
Begin by pitting the Medjool dates: make a small slit along one side of each date and carefully remove the pit, ensuring not to split the date completely apart.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut cream. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt to the melted chocolate mixture until everything is well incorporated.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each date with about a teaspoon of the chocolate mixture. Be gentle to avoid splitting the dates open.
Once all dates are filled, sprinkle desiccated coconut over each stuffed date for added texture and a hint of tropical flavor.
Place the stuffed dates on a tray and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Serve the Nut-Free Chocolate-Stuffed Dates slightly chilled or at room temperature as a delightful and satisfying dessert or snack.
