Half Baked Harvest's Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Stuffed Dates {Insanely Delicious}!

Ok, so if you've been on Tiktok or social media AT ALL lately, then you're seeing all the amazing things people are doing with dates. Dates are so chewy and sweet and make a really delicious and HEALTHY sweet treat!

 

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Stuffed Dates on the Half Baked Harvest blog caught my eye a few weeks ago and I had all the ingredients so it was meant to be!

 

And, it's so easy! Cut the dates and pit them, then fill them with a teaspoon or so of vanilla ice cream and stick them in the freezer. After 30 minutes, you pull the dates out, add some peanut butter and put them back in the freezer. Then you melt some dark chocolate with a touch of coconut oil, dunk them in the chocolate and sprinkle them with sea salt and put them back in the freezer.

TOTALLY DELICIOUS...so delicious it will blow your mind. Chewy, sweet, cold, creamy, and salty. It is THE PERFECT ONE BITE SWEET TREAT and eating one will do the trick! Do yourself a favor and make these. You won't regret it! 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Stuffed Dates

Adapted from Half Baked Harvest

by Tieghan Gerard

Makes 22

22 plump Medjool dates, split lengthwise and pitted

2 cups vanilla ice cream

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped*

24 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped

1 tablespoons coconut oil

flaky sea salt

*Note: The HBH recipe calls for peanuts, but I'm unable to eat nuts and seeds so I made them without nuts and they were absolutely delicious! Fill free to make the recipe your own. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Working quickly stuff each date with roughly 1-2 tablespoons ice cream. Place on a prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes. 

Grab the frozen dates, spoon/spread the peanut butter over the ice cream. Top with peanuts, if using. It's going to be a bit messy. Freeze for 1 hour or overnight. 

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a bowl in the microwave. Dip each frozen date in the chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt (if desired). Freeze until completely frozen, 2 hours. Eat and enjoy the sweet, creamy, chewy goodness.
