Equipment

  • 1 small bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 8 medjool dates
  • ½ cup chocolate chips divided
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 8 teaspoons tahini divided
  • 1 pinch flakey sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Prep a pan and dates: Lay a silicone baking mat or piece of parchment paper on top of a baking sheet. Prep dates by making a thin slit about halfway through each date lengthwise, making sure not to cut them in half completely. Remove the inner date pit and place the dates on the lined baking sheet.
    8 medjool dates
  • Stuff dates: Add a sprinkle of chocolate chips and sesame seeds inside the dates, then add 1 teaspoon of tahini.
    1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 8 teaspoons tahini
  • Coat with chocolate: Melt chocolate chips by either heating them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or by heating them on a double boiler, which means heating them in a glass bowl set atop of pot of boiling water (for a smoother melted chocolate). When the chocolate is melted, use a spoon to either drizzle the dates with chocolate or dip them into the bowl of melted chocolate and place back on the lined baking sheet. Then sprinkle a sesame seeds and flaky sea salt on top.
    1 pinch flakey sea salt
  • Chill before serving: Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for at least an hour, or in the freezer for 20-25 minutes before serving. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
