Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 24 pieces Almonds
- 2 tbsp Pistachios
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 tsp Sea salt
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 1 tsp Coconut oil
- 0 Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise on one side and remove the pit, ensuring the date remains intact and forms a pocket.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the almonds, pistachios, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sea salt to create the spiced nut filling.
Step 3
Stuff each date with two almonds and a pinch of chopped pistachios, pressing the filling gently into the cavity. Close the date around the filling as much as possible.
Step 4
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth, stirring to combine.
Step 5
Dip each stuffed date halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate before it sets for an extra touch of flavor.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dates for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Step 8
Serve the chocolate-dipped dates as a decadent snack or dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
