Pistachio Date Balls
These pistachio date balls are one of the simplest snacks/desserts you can make. A flattened Medjool date wrapped around a banana slice and pistachio butter centre then dipped in chocolate. They're so fun to make and super tasty. I also added some chopped pistachios to the chocolate for added crunch. Great as a snack or healthier dessert - a must try if you love anything dates!
Ingredients
- 6 Medjool dates
- 1/2 large banana sliced
- 3 tsp pistachio butter
- 50g dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios optional
Instructions
- Spray 2 pieces of parchment paper with olive oil cooking spray. Place the pitted date on one and top with the other. Use a rolling pin to roll out the date as thinly as possible.
- Place a banana slice in the centre and top with a little bit of pistachio butter. Use a spatula to gently peel the edges of the flattened date away from the paper and over the banana. Pinch the edges at the top, then roll between your hands to seal in the filling.
- Break up the dark chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring every few seconds until completely melted. Fold in the optional chopped pistachios
- Dip each date ball in the chocolate to coat, top with more chopped pistachios and refrigerate until set.
