Ingredients

Coconut-Stuffed Dates

  • 12 ounces large Medjool dates, such as Beleaves, sliced in half lengthwise (don’t cut through all the way) [dates should be checked for insect infestation at this point]

  • 1 and 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk, solid part only

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1.

In a small bowl, mix shredded coconut, coconut cream, vanilla, and salt until thick and sticky. It should resemble the filling of a Bounty bar, having a dough-like consistency.

2.

Slice each Medjool date lengthwise (don’t cut all the way through). Remove the pit and fill the center with about one to two teaspoons of the coconut mixture, really pack it in there. Place each stuffed date on a plate or baking sheet and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

3.

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Fully coat each stuffed date with the melted chocolate, or alternatively you can dip each stuffed date halfway in the chocolate. Place on a Gefen Parchment-lined tray.

4.

Sprinkle with flaky salt or shredded coconut if desired. Chill in the freezer for 10–15 minutes until set. Store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
