Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 6 tablespoons Almond butter
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 12 pieces Almonds
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
Instructions
Begin by slicing each Medjool date down the middle to remove the pit, being careful not to slice all the way through. You want to create a pocket for the filling.
Using a small spoon, fill each date with approximately half a tablespoon of almond butter. Fill the cavity but avoid overfilling, ensuring the almond butter doesn't spill out.
Insert one almond into each almond butter-filled date, pressing it gently into the center.
Sprinkle the top of each date with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Roll each stuffed date gently in unsweetened shredded coconut, ensuring the coconut adheres to the almond butter for added texture and taste.
Place the stuffed dates on a serving plate or tray. If desired, refrigerate them for about 15 minutes to firm up slightly before serving.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
