Serves: 18-20 clusters / Prep time: 10 mins / Freeze: 40+ mins

Ingredients:

20 large Medjool dates, pips removed

Tart cherry filling:

1/3 cup dried tart cherries, pre-soaked
1/4 cup desiccated coconut
4 scoops Nuzest Clean Lean Protein, Smooth Vanilla
1/2 cup tart cherry extract (liquid)
2/3 cup coconut butter, melted

Chocolate shell:

1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate, melted
2 tbsp chopped hazelnuts

Method:

Blend all ﬁlling ingredients in a food processor until a sticky dough forms.
Fill each date with around 1.5 tsp ﬁlling. Place on a lined tray and freeze for 40 minutes.
Mix melted chocolate with hazelnuts, coat each date, then freeze for a further 15 minutes.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freezer for up to 4 weeks.

Notes: Coconut butter texture varies by brand; melt gently in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until pourable. If the ﬁlling is too crumbly, add extra coconut butter or a small amount of coconut oil until sticky.
