Chocolate-Covered Dates Stuffed with Cardamom and Rose Tahini

INGREDIENTS

Medjool dates

Tahini

Rose water

Cardamom

Maple syrup

Vanilla extract

Flakey sea salt

Crushed pistachios and/or sesame seeds

Melted dark chocolate

METHOD

1. In a small bowl, combine 3 spoonfuls of tahini with a splash of rose water (start with 1/2 teaspoon), a dash of cardamom (start with half of an 1/8 teaspoon), a splash of maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir. Taste and adjust for seasoning. The filling shouldn’t be sweet since the dates and chocolate provide plenty of sweetness. However, if you want it to be sweeter, add additional maple to the tahini.

2. Use a knife to create an opening in the date and remove the pit.

3. Stuff each date with tahini filling.

4. Dip in melted chocolate and garnish with pistachios and flakey sea salt.

5. Refrigerate until chocolate sets. Enjoy!
