Yield

4 Servings

Ingredients

8 medjool dates
2 teaspoons tahini
1 ounce chocolate, semisweet
1⁄2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 pinch sesame seeds (toasted (optional))

Instructions

Using a paring knife, cut a slit the length of each date and slide out the pits. Scoop ¼ teaspoon tahini into the hollow of each date where the pit was, closing the date to contain the stuffing. Place the dates on a plate or in a tub.

Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave or over simmering water on the stove. Stir in the oil and cinnamon. Drizzle a little bit of the chocolate mixture over each date and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if using.

Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
