Time 20m

Yield 6 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 large medjool dates
24 whole almonds (preferably blanched), walnuts or pecans
3 to 4 tablespoons crème fraîche
Freshly grated zest of 1 lemon or 1/2 orange (about 2 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Rinse and dry the dates. Make a clean cut along the side of each date to open, and remove the pit.
  • Stuff each date with 2 whole almonds and lightly pinch closed. (The recipe can be made up to this point up to 2 days in advance. Store in an airtight container.)
  • When ready to serve, arrange dates cut sides up on a plate or platter. Drizzle on the crème fraîche, making a dollop on each date. Sprinkle on the citrus zest, then the chopped pistachios. Serve immediately, as finger food or on plates with a small fork and knife.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, soft dates for the best results. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before stuffing.
  • If you don't have pistachio butter, you can make your own by grinding pistachios in a food processor until they form a smooth paste.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • If you don't have coconut flakes, you can use chopped nuts or crushed graham crackers instead.
  • Be careful not to overcook the dates, as they can easily become dry and chewy.

Conclusion:

Pistachio-stuffed dates with coconut are a delicious and elegant treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you enjoy them as a snack, dessert, or party appetizer, these little bites of heaven are sure to please everyone.
