Tahini Date Freezer Cups


Ingredients

For the Date Filling:

  • 100g Medjool dates
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ tsp cardamom (optional)

For the Tahini Cups:

  • 80ml tahini
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Date Filling:

    • Cover the dates with boiling water and let them soak for 15 minutes.
    • Drain well and let the dates cool.
    • Mash the dates in a bowl with a fork until smooth. Mix in the salt, spices (if using), and toasted sesame seeds.
  2. Prepare the Tahini Mixture:

    • In a separate bowl, combine the tahini and melted coconut oil.
  3. Assemble the Cups:

    • If using mini silicone cupcake molds, transfer about ½ tablespoon of the tahini mixture into each mold.
    • Add about 1 teaspoon of the date mixture on top of the tahini layer.
    • Cover with another ½ tablespoon of tahini mixture.

    Alternatively, use paper cupcake cases in a regular-sized muffin tin for larger cups. This will make 5-6 large cups instead of 10 mini ones.

  4. Freeze:

    • Place the molds in the freezer for about an hour to set.
  5. Serve and Store:

    • Enjoy the tahini date cups straight from the freezer.
    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

These Tahini Date Cups are a delicious and healthy treat, offering a blend of nutty, sweet, and slightly spiced flavors!!!
