Ingredients
- 1 lb Medjool dates
- ½ cup tahini (sesame seed butter) well stirred
- 1 ⅓ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- ½ tsp coconut oil
To Top The Dates
- sprinkle of sesame seeds
- sprinkle of shredded coconut
Instructions
- Begin by removing the dates seeds by cutting a slit along one side of the date. Place the pitted dates on a large plate or baking sheet.
- Fill the center of the date with about ½ to 1 teaspoon of tahini, however much will fit! Place these tahini filled dates in the freezer.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil on the stove in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Use oven mitts if the side of the bowl is warm to the touch. (Instructions for a double boiler: Fill a saucepan with several inches of water and place a heat safe mixing bowl over the saucepan in order to melt your chocolate.)
- Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and remove from the heat. Let the chocolate cool slightly so it's not too hot for your fingers as you dip the dates.
- Dip your tahini stuffed dates in the chocolate and sprinkle with desired toppings. Place them in the fridge to cool until the chocolate is set and enjoy!
