Ingredients
- 12 pieces medjool dates
- 200 grams fondant icing
- 50 grams chopped pistachios
- 100 grams dark chocolate (optional)
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the medjool dates lengthwise on one side and remove the pits. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 2
Roll the fondant into small logs, approximately the size of the cavity inside each date.
Step 3
Fill each date with a piece of fondant, gently pressing it into the hollow space where the pit was removed.
Step 4
Optional: For extra crunch, sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top of the fondant in each date.
Step 5
Optional: If you’d like a chocolate coating, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.
Step 6
Dip each stuffed date halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place them on parchment paper to set.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on the chocolate-coated section before it hardens to enhance flavor.
Step 8
Allow the chocolate to set completely (you can place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process if desired).
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
