Ingredients for Jinji's Chocolate Date Popper
Method
Directions for Making Jinji's Chocolate Date Popper
- 1
Prepare the Dates
Slice the Medjool dates lengthwise and remove the pit. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- 2
Fill the Dates
Spoon a small amount of almond butter into each date, spreading it evenly.
- 3
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- 4
Coat the Dates
Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out and let excess chocolate drip off.
- 5
Garnish
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and chopped nuts over the coated dates while the chocolate is still wet. If desired, sprinkle with shredded coconut.
- 6
Chill
Place the chocolate-coated dates on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
- 7
Serve
Once hardened, serve the chocolate date poppers chilled or at room temperature.
