Ingredients

• 12 pieces Medjool dates
• 100 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher; dairy-free)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Sea salt
• 12 pieces Raw almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice open each Medjool date lengthwise and remove the pits if they aren't already pitted.

Step 2

Prepare the filling by melting the dark chocolate. To do this, break the chocolate into smaller pieces and place them in a heat-proof bowl.

Step 3

Melt the chocolate by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or gently microwaving in short increments (15-20 seconds), stirring in between to avoid burning.

Step 4

Once melted, stir in the coconut oil and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.

Step 5

Using a small spoon, fill each date with approximately 1 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture. Ensure some space is left at the top for other ingredients.

Step 6

Optionally, insert a raw almond into the center of each chocolate-filled date for added crunch.

Step 7

Sprinkle a small amount of shredded coconut on top of the chocolate-filled dates.

Step 8

Finish each stuffed date with a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top to enhance the flavors.

Step 9

Place all the stuffed dates onto a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set properly.

Step 10

Once chilled, serve the Paleo Chocolate-Stuffed Dates immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
