Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 100 grams Sugar-free dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by pitting the Medjool dates. Use a sharp knife to make a small cut lengthwise into each date and remove the pit, ensuring not to slice all the way through the date.
2. Break up the sugar-free dark chocolate into small pieces to facilitate quicker melting.
3. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or a microwave. If using a microwave, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
4. Once melted, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder into the chocolate, stirring well to combine, creating a rich, chocolatey filling.
5. Using a small spoon, fill each pitted date with approximately 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate mixture. Be careful not to overfill as you should be able to close the date around the filling.
6. For added texture and flavor, roll each chocolate-stuffed date in unsweetened shredded coconut, if desired.
7. Arrange the chocolate-stuffed dates on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
8. Serve chilled or at room temperature. These sugar-free chocolate-stuffed dates make an excellent snack or dessert and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
