Recipe by @simplyhealthymama.

Ingredients

  • 12 Natural Delights Organic Pitted Medjool Dates
  • 1 cup shredded phyllo dough
  • 2 tbsp grass-fed butter
  • 3/4 cup raw pistachio butter
  • 2 tbsp roasted tahini
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Dye-free sprinkles, for topping

Preparation

  1. Open the dates and pinch the bottom of both sides of the date together to form a heart shape. Set aside.
  2. Chop the shredded phyllo dough into fine pieces.
  3. Add butter to a sauce pan. Once sizzling, add the shredded phyllo dough and cook until golden brown.
  4. Transfer toasted phyllo dough to a bowl. Add the pistachio butter and tahini, mix until fully combined.
  5. Fill each date with the pistachio filling and freeze until you melt your chocolate.
  6. Melt chocolate with a little avocado oil to thin out. Remove dates from freezer. Using a fork, dip each date heart into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
  7. Add to a parchment lined plate and add sprinkles. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and store the dates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
