Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

12 Medjool dates, pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dates: If the Medjool dates are not already pitted, gently slice them open along one side to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through; just enough to remove the pit and allow for filling.

    Make the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir the mixture vigorously until it becomes a smooth and well-blended consistency.

      Fill the Dates: Using a small spoon or a piping bag, take the almond butter and yogurt mixture and fill each date generously. Be sure to pack the filling in, but avoid overfilling to prevent spillage.

        Coat in Coconut (Optional): If you’re using shredded coconut, pour it into a shallow dish. Roll each filled date in the coconut until they are evenly coated, adding texture and a tropical flavor.

          Melt the Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can burn.

            Dip the Clusters: Take each coconut-coated date and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring that it is completely covered. Use a fork to lift the date out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

              Add Chopped Nuts (Optional): If you're incorporating chopped nuts, sprinkle them over the chocolate-coated dates while the chocolate is still warm to help them adhere.

                Freeze: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and carefully place each chocolate-dipped date on the sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the clusters freeze for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

                  Serve: Once frozen, you can enjoy these delightful clusters directly from the freezer or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Store any remaining clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for freshness.
