Tiramisu Stuffed Dates

About This Recipe

These decadent stuffed dates capture everything you love about tiramisu: rich espresso, creamy mascarpone, crisp cookie crumbs, and a silky dark chocolate shell, all naturally sweetened with Medjool dates and finished with a dusting of cacao powder.

Ingredients
Serving Size: 12
12

 Medjool dates, pitted

6–7

additional Medjool dates, pitted and chopped

¼

cup hot black coffee

¾

cup whipped mascarpone cheese

7–8

date-sweetened graham crackers, finely crushed

1

tablespoon unsweetened cocao powder

1

Spring & Mulberry Coffee Bar

Directions

1. Slice the 12 pitted Medjool dates lengthwise, keeping one side attached to create a pocket. Set aside.
2. Place the remaining 6–7 pitted dates in a small bowl and pour the hot black coffee over them. Let soak until softened, about 10–15 minutes. Mash with a fork until smooth and spreadable, creating a coffee-date paste.
3. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and transfer them to a bowl.
4. Fill each prepared date with a spoonful of the coffee-date paste and a dollop of whipped mascarpone. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, then gently press the date closed.
5. Melt the Spring & Mulberry Coffee Bar in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each until smooth. Dip or coat each stuffed date in the melted chocolate, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
6. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes. Finish with a light dusting of unsweetened cocao powder before serving.

Notes

For the best texture and flavor, chill the stuffed dates for 20–30 minutes before serving
