Ingredients

Instructions

1
Filling the dates

Gently split each date on one side, remove any pits. Insert 2-3 pistachios and 1 almond (or just pistachios) inside. Press to secure.

2
Flavoring the chocolate

Chop the chocolate. Melt 2/3 of the chocolate with coconut oil over steam (or in 20-second intervals in the microwave). Stir in cardamom, saffron, and a pinch of salt, then add vanilla at the end. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 of the chocolate (almost 'seeding') and mix until melted — the chocolate will be smooth and glossy.

3
Coating

Dip filled dates into chocolate using a fork, gently tap off excess, and place on parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle with some chopped pistachios/rose petals.

4
Setting

Let set at room temperature for 20-25 minutes (or 10 minutes in the fridge).

5
Serving

Serve at room temperature — the flavors of cardamom and saffron will shine best.

Tip

Ak chceš výraznejší „luxusný“ akcent, pridaj k šafranu aj kvapku ružovej vody (0,5 ČL do čokolády). Na letnú verziu miešaj horkú čokoládu s 20–30 % mliečnej – sladkosť datlí krásne vybalansuje.
