A perfect snack which satisfies any sweet craving. Delicious plump Mejool dates stuffed with a rich almond butter with shredded coconut adding flavour and texture.
Servings: 4 dates
Ingredients
- 4 mejool dates
- 2 - 3 tsp almond butter
- 2 tsp unsweetened flaked coconut
Instructions
- Pit your dates by using a paring knife (or other small knife) to slice into the date, cutting towards the end of the date that has the stem. While you are cutting through the date, use your knife to push the pit out of the end of the date. See video here
- With your pit removed, carefully make the slit large enough so that you can use a small spoon to stuff your dates with the almond butter.
