Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 100 grams Sugar-free dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
2. Break up the sugar-free dark chocolate into small pieces to facilitate quicker melting.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
4. Once melted, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder into the chocolate, stirring well to combine, creating a rich, chocolatey filling.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
6. For added texture and flavor, roll each chocolate-stuffed date in unsweetened shredded coconut, if desired.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
