Categories     Fruit     Nut     Dessert     Ramadan     Date     Tree Nut     Almond     Party     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 12 stuffed dates

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup/100 g ground almonds
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
2 tsp orange flower water
Food coloring (optional)
12 mejhoul dates or other large, sweet date variety with pits
12 walnut halves or 12 unsalted toasted almonds without skins

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, add the ground almonds, powdered sugar, and orange flower water. Add 1 Tbsp water and work into a paste. The dough should be slightly moist; add a few more drops of water (or orange flower water) if needed.
  • If using food coloring, divide the paste into even parts, add 5 or 6 drops of a single color to each, and work in.
  • Wipe the dates with a damp cloth. Cut a lengthwise incision across the top of each date and carefully remove the pit. Take 1 tsp or so of the almond paste, roll it between your palms into a spherical shape, and tuck inside the date. It should bulge out of the opening. Repeat with the remaining paste and dates. Garnish each date with a walnut pressed slightly edgewise into the almond paste before serving.

PECAN-STUFFED DATES



Pecan-stuffed dates image

Hosting a party? Make these easy stuffed dates as a canapé, or for after-dinner nibbles on Christmas Day. Ideal for when you have lots of mouths to feed

Provided by Elena Silcock

Categories     Buffet, Canapes, Snack

Time 40m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for brushing
1 shallot , finely chopped
1 garlic clove , crushed
50g fresh breadcrumbs
100g pecans , finely chopped
1 tbsp thyme leaves , chopped
50ml vegan vegetable stock or water
12 medjool dates , pitted
12 small sage leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the shallot and a generous pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 mins until softened, then add the garlic, breadcrumbs, pecans and thyme and cook for 1 min more. Add a splash of vegetable stock to bring the mixture together, then set aside.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the dates in half lengthways (but don't cut all the way through). Take small balls of the stuffing and push inside the dates, then push the sides of the dates back together. Put a sage leaf on top of each date, then put the dates on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Get ahead by prepping your dates up to this point - they will keep in the fridge overnight ready to be baked.
  • Brush the outside of the dates liberally with olive oil, then bake for 15-20 mins until the sage leaf is crisp. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe dates: Use soft and plump dates for the best texture and flavor.
  • Pit the dates carefully: Use a sharp knife to make a slit down the side of the date and remove the pit. Be careful not to cut all the way through the date.
  • Stuff the dates evenly: Use a small spoon or your fingers to stuff the dates with the fondant mixture. Make sure to fill the dates evenly so that they are not too loose or too tight.
  • Chill the dates before dipping: This will help the chocolate coating to set more quickly and smoothly.
  • Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate: This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning or seizing.
  • Dip the dates in the chocolate carefully: Use a fork or tongs to dip the dates in the chocolate. Make sure to coat the dates evenly and tap off any excess chocolate.
  • Place the dates on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet: This will help to prevent the dates from sticking to the pan.
  • Chill the dates again before serving: This will help the chocolate coating to set completely.

Conclusion:

Fondant stuffed dates are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dessert that is both elegant and decadent. Whether you are serving them at a party or enjoying them as a special snack, fondant stuffed dates are sure to be a hit.
