Ingredients

• 12 pieces Medjool dates
• 100 grams Unsweetened dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 tablespoons Almond flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 3 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional: almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the dates: Using a small knife, make a slit on one side of each Medjool date and remove the pits. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsweetened dark chocolate and the butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

Once the chocolate and butter are melted, stir in the almond flour, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Optional: Toast the chopped nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until fragrant, stirring frequently. Allow to cool slightly before using.

Step 5

Spoon a small amount of the chocolate mixture into each date, filling the cavity where the pit was removed. Use a small spoon or piping bag to make this easier.

Step 6

If using, gently press a few toasted nuts into the chocolate filling inside each date.

Step 7

Place the stuffed dates on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.

Step 8

Serve the dates chilled or at room temperature as a delicious low-carb treat.
