Instructions
Soak the Medjool dates in water for about 30 minutes.
8 Medjool dates
Dry the dates with a towel before using a small knife to make a cut ¾ of the way down one side of the date. Gently peel open with fingers and remove pit (if the dates are not pitted), and press the cavity of the date to make a well for peanut butter.
8 Medjool dates
Add the peanut butter until the cavity of the dates are full.
8 teaspoons peanut butter
Press the vegan chocolate chips into the peanut butter, allowing some of the peanut butter to cover the chocolate chips.
24 vegan chocolate chips
Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the portion of the dates with exposed peanut butter. The peanut butter is what allows the coconut to stick.
4 teaspoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Place in the freezer for about 15 minutes before enjoying cold.
Notes
You are welcome to use the nut butter of your choice.
