Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (dark chocolate works too)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 10 large pitted Medjool dates (the softer, the better!)
  • 1 tablespoon flaky Himalayan sea salt


Instructions

  1. Line a mini cupcake pan with cupcake liners and set aside.
  2. Prepare the date caramel by processing the dates in a high-speed food processor until smooth, adding water if needed.
  3. Using a 1/2 teaspoon, scoop out the date caramel and roll it into balls, making about 24. Wet your hands to make rolling easier. Set aside.
  4. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals until smooth.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate to the bottom of each muffin cup. Place a ball of date caramel on top and cover it with 1-1.5 teaspoons of melted chocolate.
  6. Sprinkle with Himalayan sea salt, then freeze for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • If your dates are not soft enough, add a teaspoon of water to the food processor.
  • Feel free to use any type of chocolate you prefer.
  • Store the date cups in the freezer for up to 3 months.
