Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 6 tablespoons Almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 50 grams Dark chocolate (vegan), optional
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the dates: Use a sharp knife to slice each Medjool date lengthwise on one side and carefully remove the pit. Be sure to leave the flesh of the date intact so that it forms a pocket.
Step 2
Using a teaspoon, fill each date with about 1/2 tablespoon of almond butter. Ensure the butter is well-contained within the date's cut opening.
Step 3
Once all dates are filled, sprinkle each one with a pinch of chopped almonds and shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Step 4
Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the stuffed dates to enhance the sweetness of the dates and almond butter.
Step 5
If desired, melt the vegan dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the stuffed dates for an extra rich, decadent touch. Allow to set for a few minutes.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy this deliciously healthy treat, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
