Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  • 10 dates with seeds OR 55 g seedless dates
  • 5 tsp / 35 g peanut butter
  • 50 g dark chocolate (55%), melted
  • Grated pistachio and almonds for garnishing

Method
 

  1. Make a slit along the length of each date, as shown in the image below and remove the seeds.
  2. Spoon about ½ tsp of peanut butter into each date.
  3. Dip the filled dates into the melted chocolate and place them on a plate lined with grease-proof paper.
  4. Sprinkle grated nuts over the chocolate-coated dates and gently press so they adhere well.
  5. Refrigerate the dates until the chocolate sets completely.

Notes

  • You can use any nut butter you prefer.
  • Feel free to top the dates with any nuts or dried fruits of your choice.
  • If using dried fruits, choose slightly tart varieties to balance the natural sweetness of dates.
