Makes 12 treats
When you’re hankering for something sweet, this quick to make treat will fill the bill. You can make this nut free by using tahini or sunflower butter or pumpkin butter and by using seeds instead of nuts for the topping.
12 large dates, pitted
¼ cup runny almond butter or other nut/seed butter
½ cup vegan dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
¼ cup roasted pistachios, finely minced
¼ cup fine coconut flakes
Flakey sea salt, to taste
Once the dates are pitted, place them on top of a sheet of parchment paper lined cookie sheet a couple of inches apart. Place another sheet of parchment paper over the top of them. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dates. Remove the top parchment paper.
Drizzle a teaspoon of runny nut or seed butter over each flattened date.
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl along with the teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave for about 1 minute, checking and stirring every 15 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over each date.
Sprinkle dates with the finely minced pistachios, coconut flakes and then sea salt, to taste.
Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Place the cookie sheet in the fridge for about an hour.
Gently remove the date treats and store them in an air tight container in the fridge.
