SMASHED MATCHA CHOCOLATE DATES

These smashed matcha chocolate dates are just as delicious as they sound. Sticky dates, creamy nut butter, decadent matcha chocolate and a perfect sprinkling of flakey sea salt - what more could you possibly want?!

INGREDIENTS (makes 6 servings):

  • 3 large Medjool dates
  • 3 tbsp nut butter of your choice (we used PB)
  • 100g white chocolate
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 tsp JENKI Matcha
  • Flakey sea salt

HOW-TO:

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove the pits from your dates, place on parchment and use a flat-bottomed bowl or mug to flatten your dates.
  3. Add a half tablespoon of nut butter directly on top of your flattened dates.
  4. Break up your white chocolate and add it to a bowl with 1tbsp of coconut oil.
  5. Use a double boiler (bowl on top of boiling water on stove) to melt your chocolate and coconut oil together.
  6. Once your chocolate is fully melted and combined with the coconut oil, sift in 3tsp of JENKI Matcha powder and mix until smooth and consistent in colour and texture.
  7. Spoon your melted matcha chocolate over your peanut butter topped dates.
  8. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt.
  9. Pop in the freezer for 3 hours minimum, your freezer will set the chocolate and peanut butter, but the dates will remain soft, sticky and so delish.
  10. Serve to friends or snack on them from the freezer throughout the week!
