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!!!
