Servings: 12 Dates

Equipment

  • 1 Small Microwaveable Bowl
  • 1 Small Pan or Dish

Ingredients

  • 12 Large Pitted Dates (I use Deglet Noor or Medjool Dates)
  • 3 tbsp Tahini
  • 1 tsp Maple Syrup
  • pinch Sea Salt (To taste)
  • 3 tbsp Dark Chocolate Chips

Optional

  • pinch Sesame Seeds (For topping)

Instructions

  • Arrange dates on a small pan or dish.
  • Cut halfway into the dates to open them up. Do not cut all the way through, you want it to hold the tahini filling.
  • Mix tahini, maple syrup and salt together in a small microwaveable bowl.
  • Spoon the tahini filling into the dates.
  • Once all the tahini mixture is used, you can melt the dark chocolate chips in the same bowl.
  • I melt the chocolate chips in my microwave in increments of 30 seconds (it will depend on your microwave as to how many times).
  • Spoon the melted chocolate onto the top of the stuffed dates.
  • Optional - Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of chocolate.
  • Place in freezer for approximately 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
  • You are then ready to enjoy!
