Recipe by Lauren Twigge

Ingredients

  • 12 Natural Delights Medjool dates, pits removed (try to pick ones that look MOST like a football)
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese
  • dash of cinnamon
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil 
  • 1 white icing for writing and art 

Find "12 oz Pitted Medjool Dates" in a Store

Preparation

  1. Remove the pits from your Natural Delights Medjool dates
  2. Add your cottage cheese, maple syrup, and cinnamon to a blender cup and blend until smooth. If you want to add color for a team, use freeze dried fruit!
  3. Stuff your Medjool dates with the cottage cheese mixture, pinch shut and scrape away any excess.
  4. Add your chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small bowl and warm in the microwave until fully melted.
  5. Dip your stuffed dates in your chocolate until fully coated, shake off any excess chocolate, and place on a wire rack to allow the extra chocolate to drip off.
  6. Allow your chocolate covered dates to freeze for 15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
  7. Use your white icing to make football laces on your stuffed Medjool dates. Store in the freezer until you are ready to serve. Enjoy!

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
