Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Stuffed Dates
  • 12 pieces Medjool dates Make sure they are pitted.
  • 1 cup vegan cream cheese
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 8 oz dark chocolate (vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by carefully slicing each Medjool date down the center. Remove the pit if it hasn't been already. This will create a pocket for your delicious filling.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, diced strawberries, and powdered sugar. Use a spatula to gently mix all the ingredients until they form a smooth, creamy mixture.
  3. Spoon the strawberry cream filling into each opened date, ensuring they are generously filled.
Melting the Chocolate
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Dipping and Chilling
  1. Using a fork, dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them on a parchment-lined tray.
  2. Refrigerate the tray for about 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened.

Notes
