Looking for a sweet treat that's both indulgent and wholesome? These Tahini & Chocolate Date Bites are just what you need. Perfectly balancing the rich, deep flavours of chocolate with the creamy nuttiness of tahini, these bites are a delightful snack for any time of day.
Ingredients:
- 6-7 juicy Medjool dates
- 45g Cox&Co Raw Cacao Nibs chocolate
- 3 tbsp good quality tahini
- 1 tsp grape molasses
- 1 ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dates: If your Medjool dates haven’t been pitted, begin by pitting them. These dates are wonderfully juicy and provide the perfect base for our bites.
- Stuff with Chocolate: Break the Cox&Co Raw Cacao Nibs chocolate into small squares. Stuff each date with a square of this luscious chocolate, adding a deep, rich cacao flavour.
- Make the Tahini Dressing: Mix the tahini with the grape molasses until well combined. This dressing will add a creamy, slightly tangy sweetness that pairs beautifully with the chocolate and dates.
- Top the Dates: Spoon a small amount of the tahini and molasses mixture onto each stuffed date. This adds a rich, nutty flavour that enhances the overall taste.
- Season with Sea Salt: Add a generous pinch of sea salt flakes to each date. The salt will bring out the dates’ sweetness and the chocolate's richness.
- Sprinkle with Coconut: Finally, sprinkle the desiccated coconut over the dates. This adds a lovely texture and a hint of tropical flavour.
- Serve and Enjoy: These bites are perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or as a sweet snack anytime.
