Makes 20
Ingredients:
20 large dates
4 tbsp La Vida Vegan Hazelnut Spread
For the coating:
250 g dark chocolate
Finely chopped roasted hazelnuts
Method:
- Line a tray or baking sheet with baking paper.
- Cut the dates lengthways and remove the stones and any remaining stems.
- Spoon the La Vida Vegan Hazelnut Spread into a piping bag or a sturdy plastic bag and snip off a small corner.
- Fill each date with the hazelnut spread and gently press the dates slightly closed.
- If desired, place the filled dates in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to allow the filling to firm up slightly.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip the filled dates one at a time into the melted chocolate until completely coated.
- Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the dates back onto the baking paper.
- Immediately sprinkle with the finely chopped roasted hazelnuts.
- Place the dates in the fridge for approximately 30 minutes, until the chocolate has completely set.
- Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
