Soft Medjool dates filled with almond butter and finished with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate and a pinch of sea salt — an elegant no-bake sweet treat.
Ingredients
produce
- 12Medjool dates
pantry
- 4 tbspalmond butter
- 60 gdark chocolate
- 0.25 tspsea salt
Steps
- Make a lengthwise slit in each date with a paring knife and remove the pit, keeping the date mostly intact.
- Spoon or pipe about 1 teaspoon of almond butter into the center of each date, pressing the sides back together slightly.
- Arrange the stuffed dates in a single layer on a small tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the chocolate in 15-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each date using a spoon, letting it fall in thin lines.
- Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the chocolate while it's still soft.
- Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate sets before serving.
Tips
- Choose plump, soft Medjool dates; they're easiest to pit and stuff neatly.
- Melt the chocolate gently in short bursts in the microwave to avoid scorching it.
- Chill the finished dates for 10 minutes so the chocolate sets before serving.
- A light sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top makes the sweetness pop.
