Stuffed Dates


Main Ingredients

For Stuffed Dates:

  • 15 Kimia dates (soft and seedless or deseeded manually)
  • 1/2 cup almonds (whole or chopped)
  • 1/4 cup pistachios (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
  • Edible rose petals or slivers of silver leaf (for garnish)

For Chocolate Drizzle (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter

Instruction

Step 1 - Prepare the Dates

  • Deseed the dates: If using dates with seeds, carefully make a slit lengthwise in each Kimia date and remove the seed without cutting all the way through.

  • Create a cavity: Gently open each date to form a pocket for stuffing.

Step 2 - Make the Stuffing

  • Chop and mix the nuts: Finely chop the almonds and pistachios. Mix them with desiccated coconut, cardamom powder, and saffron strands (if using) in a bowl.

  • Bind the mixture (optional): Add honey or maple syrup to the nut mixture just enough to bind it lightly. This adds a sweet and sticky texture to the stuffing.

Step 3: Stuff the Dates

  • Fill the dates: Using a small spoon or your fingers, stuff each date with the nut-coconut mixture. Press gently so the stuffing holds firm inside the date.

  • Garnish: Top each stuffed date with slivers of almonds, pistachios, or a touch of rose petals for an elegant finish.

Step 4: Optional Chocolate Drizzle

  • Melt the chocolate: In a double boiler or microwave, melt dark chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter until smooth.

  • Drizzle: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the stuffed dates and let them set in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.

Tips for the Perfect Stuffed Dates

  • Choose Soft Dates: Kimia dates are naturally soft and chewy, making them ideal for stuffing. If they’re slightly dry, microwave for 10 seconds or soak in warm water briefly.

  • Flavor Twist: Add orange zest or rose water to the stuffing for a fragrant variation.

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Best consumed within a week.
