A quick and easy recipe for dates stuffed with a mixture of toasted walnuts and sesame seeds flavoured with cinnamon, orange zest and rose water. For the coating, I have used coconut flakes and pumpkin seeds, but any other nuts or seeds would work just fine here. They are great as a light dessert, a snack, or just anytime you feel like a nibble.

  • 70 g Walnuts, toasted
  • 30 g Sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 20 g Brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Orange zest
  • 1-2 tsp Rose water
  • 10 g Coconut oil, melted
  • 30 Lightly dried dates, pitted
  • 30 g Coconut flakes
  • 40 g Pumpkin seeds, finely chopped
  1. Toast walnuts, and sesame seeds in a dry skillet until fragrant, about 5 minutes, and then remove them from the heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Place walnuts, sesame, cinnamon, sugar and orange zest in a coffee grinder. Process until you have a thick paste. Turn the paste into a bowl and stir in rose water.
  3. Fill each date with about a teaspoon of nut mixture. Brush with melted coconut oil and coat with coconut flakes or chopped pumpkin seeds.

I make these to go in my Christmas box of cookies I give. They really are wonderful accompaniments with combinations of nuts of coconut to balance the sweetness of the dates.
The quote was definitely something my mother would have said--thank you for bringing back a memory, XOXO

Angie, I was surprised to see this post. In the middle east stuffed dates with nuts, and at times they stuff it with chocolate and then roll it in chocolate powder, are served in royal families weddings! This is very popular in Gulf countries, so thanks for the royal treat :)

Karen (Back Road Journal) 30/9/12 23:53

The dates sound outstanding! They will be perfect as a little nibble when you don't want a heavy dessert.

[Reply]
Ilke 1/10/12 02:02

My mom used to make similar recipe but with dried apricots. Dates sound better, softer.
I made your bulgur bread one more time this weekend. Next is overnight sesame rolls with yogurt :)

Mich - Piece of Cake 1/10/12 05:30

That sounds like a great idea! I see dates being sold but have no idea what to do with them. Never thought of stuffing them and then coating them again. It would be a great and healthy snack.

[Reply]
Koko 1/10/12 08:29

Angie, I just know that I will be making these soon. I absolutely adore dates. I often stuff them with almond (or almond butter) and top with coconut.

[Reply]
swati 1/10/12 08:32

dates are generally considered healthy and are eaten mostly during winters in India....this is a great twist to the ordinary ones. love the recipe!

Tricia @ saving room for dessert 1/10/12 15:22

With these around I think I would feel a lot like nibbling! Very nice. I recently tried a recipe with dates stuffed with a candied orange peel, an almond and the whole thing dipped in chocolate. I liked it ok but think this sounds so much better. Very nice Angie.
