Walnut-stuffed dated, rolled in cardamom-flavored coconut.
Servings: 20 dates
Calories: 97kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut
- 20 Medjool dates
- 20 walnut halves
Instructions
- Sprinkle cardamom over coconut and mix to combine. Use a sharp paring knife to make a slit into the dates, then remove pits. You can either stuff the whole date or slice it into two pieces. Fill dates with walnuts or other nuts.
- Sprinkle coconut over the dates, pressing the coconut into the dates, if necessary.
Notes
- To make your own paste, check out my date paste and date kileche recipes. However, I won't judge you if you buy premade date paste.
- Stuffed dates are perfect to serve at parties or potlucks. They can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Cardamom adds a delicious flavor to stuffed dates, but you can leave it out if you have to. Instead, use a pinch of cinnamon.
- You can also use dates to make your own date molasses.
- Stuffed Dates can be stored in the fridge or left on the counter. However, I recommend storing the stuffed dates in an air-tight container. Dates stored in the refrigerator will still be good to eat for months!
