Seasonal Suitable throughout the year
Ingredients
  • 36 Whole California medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 1/2 cup Cold espresso (or strong brewed coffee)
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder, plus more for garnishing
  • 8 oz Mascarpone cream
  • 2 tbsp Heavy cream
  • 5 tbsp Confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Slice dates lengthwise on one side, taking care not to slice all the way through. Using fingers, gently open dates so that the cavity is accessible.

  2. Place espresso and cocoa powder each in a small shallow bowl. Fully submerge each date in espresso, then roll around in cocoa powder. Shake excess cocoa powder off. Set coated dates on a serving platter.

  3. In a medium bowl, add mascarpone, heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat until mixture is smooth, creamy, and lump-free.

  4. Transfer mascarpone mixture to a piping bag and pipe mixture to fill date cavities (or use a small spoon to spoon mixture into cavities). Return dates to serving platter.

  5. Using a small sifter, dust dates lightly with a little more cocoa powder.

  6. Serve and enjoy!
