Almond Joy Stuffed Dates are a quick, no-bake treat made with naturally sweet Medjool dates filled with a creamy coconut mixture, dipped in rich chocolate, and topped with a crunchy almond. They taste like a homemade candy bar but are made with simple, wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

8 Medjool dates

1/2 cup desiccated coconut

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp non-dairy milk (coconut milk preferred)

1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped vegan chocolate

8 whole almonds

Instructions

  1. If the Medjool dates have pits, make a shallow slice down the middle of each date without cutting all the way through. Remove the pit and gently open each date to create space for the filling.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, maple syrup, and non-dairy milk. Mix until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed. Add a little more milk or maple syrup if needed.
  3. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Spoon the coconut mixture into each date, filling the center evenly.
  5. Dip half of each stuffed date into the melted chocolate. Place one whole almond on top while the chocolate is still soft.
  6. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use dark vegan chocolate for a richer flavor or drizzle white chocolate on top for contrast.
  • Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or finely chopped almonds to the coconut mixture for extra texture.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
  • If the filling is too dry, add a small splash of non-dairy milk or extra maple syrup.
