Ingredients
500 g dates (preferably Medjool)
50 g peanut butter (or other nut butter)
200 g dark chocolate
400 g white chocolate
-
3g matcha
-
3 g of sakura powder
-
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 to 3 tablespoons of neutral-flavored oil (such as grapeseed or sunflower oil)
Instructions
Make a lengthwise slit in each date without cutting all the way through, then remove the pit if necessary.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, generously fill each date with peanut butter.
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler over low heat.
Do the same with the white chocolate in another bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to each piece of chocolate to achieve a smooth, glossy texture.
Divide the melted white chocolate into two equal portions.
In the first bowl, stir in the matcha and mix until the mixture is smooth.
In the second bowl, add the sakura powder and mix.
Dip the stuffed dates in the different chocolates:
- dark chocolate
- white chocolate with matcha - white chocolate with sakuraBefore the chocolate sets, sprinkle on whatever you like: sesame seeds, matcha, sakura powder, or other toppings.
Arrange the dates on a baking sheet, then place them in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes, until the chocolate has set completely.
