Equipment
Ingredients
- 20-35 units (30-40g) raw almonds
- 25-30 units (250-300) grams Medjool dates
- 1 cup (100 grams) shredded coconut unsweetened+ a little more for garnish
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut cream (from a can) or soy milk
- 2 Tablespoons (30ml) real maple syrup
- a pinch of salt
- 5.3 oz (150 grams) dark chocolate
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil or canola oil
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a tray or a dish with parchment paper, set aside.
- Spread almonds in one layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until almonds are slightly browned. Be careful not to burn them by checking on them often.
- Cut a slit in each date and remove the pit. Don’t cut the dates all the way through. They should be cut lengthways with the bottom of the date still intact so that the filling stays in place.
- In a small bowl mix together the shredded coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup, and salt. You want it to be combined, but it’s okay if it’s still quite chunky.
- Spoon the coconut mixture evenly inside the pitted dates and top with an almond.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or double broiler method, melt your chocolate with the oil until the mixture is melted and stir to combine.
- Dip each date into the melted chocolate, so they’re half covered. Place on the prepared tray.
- Sprinkle coconut (optional) and place in the fridge or freezer to allow the chocolate to firm. ENJOY!
