Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dates

In case your dates still have pits, gently slice each 12 (Medjool) dates lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Remove the pits from each date.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

Roughly chop the 50 g unsalted pistachios.
In a small bowl, soften the 125 g mascarpone cheese with a spoon and add the chopped pistachios to it.

Step 3: Fill the Dates

Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each date with a dollop of the mascarpone and pistachios mix.

Step 4: Melt the White Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Add the pistachio creme to it and mix until fully combined.

Step 5: Dip the Dates

Dip each filled date into the melted white chocolate and pistachio creme mix, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the chocolate-dipped dates on a parchment-lined tray.
Place the tray of chocolate-dipped dates in the freezer for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to harden.

Step 6: Add Sea Salt and Serve

Remove the dates from the freezer. Sprinkle each date with a few flakes of sea salt. Arrange the dates on a serving platter. Ready to be served, enjoy!
