Only three ingredients are required to make these decadent little morsels. Package them up as food gifts, or better yet, keep them all for yourself.
Ingredients
- 200g medjool dates
- 600g caramel mud cake
- 250g milk chocolate
Method
-
Step 1Use a small sharp knife to cut a slit in each date and remove the seed. Reserve one date, then place the rest in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times. Break up mud cake and add to food processor, and blitz until a smooth paste forms. Transfer mixture to a bowl and roll into small balls. Place on a tray in a single layer and refrigerate to chill.
-
Step 2Slice reserved date into small slivers.
-
Step 3Melt chocolate in short bursts in the microwave. Dip each ball in the melted chocolate and use two forks to gently turn and coat. Lift and shake gently to remove any excess chocolate, then place on a tray lined with baking paper. Top with a sliver of the reserved date.
-
Step 4Once you have coated each ball, refrigerate until set.
Recipe Notes
+ refrigeration.
Store in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
You could use packaged pitted dates, but the fresh medjool dates in the fresh fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket are much better for this recipe.
