Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 1 cup (110g) granola
  • 2 tbsp (25g) coconut oil, melted
  • Cheesecake
  • 4oz dairy-free cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60g) powdered sugar (or vanilla protein powder)
  • 1/2 cup (180g) @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream (chilled 24 hours)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 TBSP vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup freeze dried raspberries
  • To assemble
  • 12 Natural Delights Organic Pitted Medjool Dates
  • 8oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Optional: valentine’s sprinkles

Preparation

  1. Arrange the Medjool dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper split open lengthwise.
  2. Combine the granola and coconut oil in a food processor. Blend to a wet sand consistency. Spoon a small amount of the crust crumbs into each.
  3. Scoop out just the solid part from the chilled can of coconut cream. Use a hand mixer to beat together everything except the raspberries for the cheesecake filling. Use a piping bag to fill each date with the cheesecake mixture.
  4. Briefly blend or crush the freeze-dried raspberries to coarse crumbs. Spoon into each date on top of the cheesecake mixture.
  5. Squeeze each Medjool date semi shut, and refrigerate overnight (at least 4 hours).
  6. Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil. Use a fork to dip each stuffed date in the melted chocolate. Place back on the lined pan, top with sprinkles, and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
