After-Dinner Dates with Butter & Sea Salt
Sweet dates filled with butter and finished with flaky sea salt for an easy after-dinner dessert.
Ingredients
- 3 large dates preferably Medjool
- 1½ teaspoons butter approximately ½ teaspoon per date
- 3 pinches Maldon flaky sea salt to taste
- Ground cinnamon for dusting
Instructions
- Using a small sharp knife, carefully cut each date lengthwise and remove the pit and stem end.
- Gently open each date and add approximately ½ teaspoon of butter. Add a little more if you'd like.
- Sprinkle each date with a small pinch of Maldon flaky sea salt and a light dusting of cinnamon.
- Enjoy immediately as an easy after-dinner dessert.
Notes
- Medjool dates are preferred because they are large, soft, and naturally caramel-like, but Khidri dates or another gooey work beautifully too.
- Homemade butter is especially delicious in this recipe. The flavour really shines with such a simple ingredient list.
- The cinnamon is optional, but highly recommended. It gives these dates an almost cinnamon-bun-like flavour.
- Maldon flaky sea salt is ideal, but any good-quality flaky sea salt can be used.
