Chocolate Dipped Stuffed Dates with Walnuts and Tahini

Oh did I mention Orange Blossom Water?! Yes, these dates are soaked in orange blossom water and stuffed with walnuts and tahini then dipped in chocolate! We can’t forget the best part – that sprinkle of flaked Sea Salt!

There are stuffed dates all around the world, but from what I know in the Moroccan tradition – they wipe the dates with Orange Blossom Water and stuff each date with walnuts.

So Easy to Make!

All you need for these Dates are a handful of ingredients, some you already might have.

You will need:

  • Medjool Dates
  • Orange Blossom Water
  • Walnut Halves
  • Tahini
  • Dark Chocolate
  • Flaked Sea Salt

Make sure you get nice and big Medjool Dates, this way you can easily stuff them. Finding Orange Blossom Water might be tricky based on where you live. If the store has Tahini it’s likely to have orange blossom water too.

To Soak or Wipe

Now you might think soaking the dates is a waste of orange blossom water, but hear me out! When the dates soak in the blossom water for that 2 minutes it absorbs into the dates giving a nice flavour.

If you don’t have much blossom water, then wiping them with the blossom water is just fine. Luckily Orange Blossom water is very affordable. My Mom’s family back in Morocco used to distill their own!

  • Cut the centre to remove the pits.
