Ingredients
10 Medjool dates (pitted, I use large Medjool dates)
2 tablespoons almond butter (creamy, or cashew butter)
2 tablespoons pistachios (chopped)
2 tablespoons freeze dried strawberries (broken into little bits)
1 cup chocolate chips (Belgian dark chocolate works great, or you can use your favorite type of chocolate)
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain the freshness of product for up to one week.
Instructions
1. Begin by finely chopping the pistachios and breaking the freeze-dried strawberries into little bits. 2. Carefully open the pitted dates and use a small spoon to fill each cavity inside with almond butter. 3. Set up a double boiler by bringing a saucepan with a couple of inches of water to a gentle simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top, add the chocolate chips, and melt until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use a microwave-safe bowl and melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals. Add ghee or coconut oil, stir well. 4. Using a fork, dip almond butter-stuffed dates into the melted chocolate, ensuring they're completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the chocolate-coated dates onto a cutting board (or a baking sheet) lined with parchment paper. 5. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and broken freeze-dried strawberries over the top of the dates. 6. Transfer the chocolate-covered dates to the fridge and let them chill for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!

What a fantastic dessert. I'm fine with the first 3 ingredients on their own, but the strawberry is the cherry on top! :)
