These Dubai chocolate dates are a healthy, gluten-free take on the popular chocolate treat, made with Medjool dates, pure pistachio butter, toasted coconut, and dark chocolate. Instead of the wheat-based kataifi pastry used in classic Dubai chocolate, toasted coconut adds a similar texture and flavor to the pistachio filling while keeping the recipe naturally gluten-free.
The dates bring caramel-like sweetness, so there’s no need for sugar or a sweetened pistachio cream. With fiber from the dates and coconut, nourishing fats from the pistachios, and a little sea salt to balance the sweetness, these chocolate-covered dates make a rich, satisfying treat from simple, wholesome ingredients.
