Stuffed chocolatey Dates

 I wanted to share this ( stuffed  dates ) recipe  with my own idea of filling & i have been trying to post  for a long time.

While dates are delicious on their own, stuffing the dates are extra delicious & you can stuff with any of your choice eg: cream cheese with nuts , just nuts, etc. Its common for ramdan iftar  eaten as a  appetizer  or you can have as a dessert after lunch or dinner & also given as gifts. 

I've used the medjool dates, stuffed with coconut, pistachio's  &  white chocolate chips  & covered the date in dark chocolate .So let's make a no - cook  sweet & chewy dates.

I've posted step by step video's, Make these stuffed dates can keep in refrigerator for a longer time & enjoy.  

Method:

Clean the dates with a wet muslin cloth & remove the seeds from the dates you'll need to open each dates up & remove the seed.

Let's make the filling: In a pan add pistachios & sauté when  slightly warm add grated coconut & sauté for a few sec .

Remove from flame & add white chocolate chips. Stir for a sec. grind to a coarse powder. Keep 1 tbsp coarse powder aside for garnishing. 

Spoon the filling into each dates & press it firmly.

I like the  balance of semi sweet chocolate so I've used  dark chocolate. Melt  dark chocolate & drop each of the stuffed dates in the melted chocolate & roll gently to coat round the dates, gently remove the dates & place it on a tray one by one & place all the coated  dates in the refrigerator for 1 hr.

Melt white chocolate & drizzle over the dates & sprinkle the dates with the kept aside filling,

Place the dates on a cup lining paper before serving  or you can store these dates in a air tight container in the fridge.

Try this no- cook dessert & enjoy.
