At Dolce Frutti, exceptional recipes begin with exceptional ingredients. Our Soft Ripe Barhi Dates are carefully grown and tree-ripened to achieve their signature caramel-like sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture. When paired with smooth, date-sweetened chocolate and optional citrus zest, they create a harmony of flavors that feels both wholesome and luxurious.
Ingredients
- 12 Dolce Frutti Soft Ripe Barhi Dates, pitted
- ½ cup dark chocolate (or chocolate chips)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (optional for a nutty twist)
(Optional: zest of Minneola tangelo oranges for a citrusy kick)
How to Make
- Take a heatproof bowl and melt your chocolate using a double-boiling method. Alternatively, you can microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds.
- Add your peanut butter to the melted chocolate and mix until smooth.
- Dip each pitted date into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place all of the dates on a parchment-lined tray and let them cool until the chocolate becomes thick. Typically, your date with peanut butter and chocolate might take around 20 to 30 minutes to harden.
- Optional: Sprinkle with orange zest or drizzle with additional date chocolate for extra flair.
These chocolate sweetened with dates bites are perfect for snacking, gifting, or adding to Iftar bowls for a naturally sweet punch.
Why Dolce Frutti Dates Make the Difference
At Dolce Frutti Shop, our Soft Ripe Barhi Dates are grown through permaculture in Southern California’s Coachella Valley. Each of the fruit is left on the tree until fully matured to ensure every bite feels incredibly sweet, luscious, and full of flavor. Choosing Dolce Frutti dates ensures that every bite of chocolate-covered goodness is not just indulgent but also responsibly sourced and nutritionally rich.
