minutesIngredients
7 Dates (for example Medjool dates)
10 Almonds
10 Pistachios
2 EL Cashew or almond butter
150 g dark chocolate (at least 70 % cocoa content)
Honey at will, e.g. B. MANUKA
1/2 TL Sea salt flakes
1 TL Dried rose petals
Preparation
- Slice the dates lengthwise, but do not cut through them so that they can be opened, and remove the stone. Cut the dates in half crosswise.
- Fill the dates alternately with nuts or nut butter and then press down lightly. Repeat this step for all the dates.
- Chop the remaining almonds and pistachios for the garnish.
- For the chocolate icing, roughly chop the chocolate and melt together with a small pinch of salt in a heatproof container over a bain-marie. Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth. If you like a little more sweetness, you can add a little honey at the end.
- Dip each filled date into the melted chocolate until it is covered all over and place on a board or baking tray lined with baking paper.
- While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle the pralines alternately with chopped pistachios, almonds, sea salt flakes or rose petals.
- Afterwards, allow the chocolates to harden well; this process is accelerated in the fridge.
Artgerechte Food Facts
Dates are a natural source of sweetness and belong to the stone fruit family. They are a fast energy supplier for muscles and brain. The amino acid tryptophan it contains stimulates the production of serotonin and melatonin, which promotes a good night's sleep. Dates are also rich in vitamins and minerals and have an antioxidant effect. The reddish color comes from beta-carotene (i.e. provitamin A), which can regulate cell growth in the body.
Almonds have a high calorie density, but are very healthy. The carbohydrates in almonds and also in nuts are only released slowly during digestion. Almonds contain a lot of vegetable protein and are rich in polyunsaturated fats. They also have an antioxidant effect.
Pistachios are stone fruits that are easy to digest. They contain a higher amount of potassium than bananas and appear to be particularly rich in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-diabetic substances. Pistachios are also rich in healthy fats and appear to have a positive effect on cholesterol levels and heart health.
Chocolate with a cocoa content of over 75% can help to normalize energy levels. The high serotonin content has a mood-lifting effect and promotes hormone regulation.
Honey has been considered a natural remedy for thousands of years and is known for its effect against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Manuka honey works best here – its high methylglyoxal content (MGO) makes it unique. In general, the darker the honey, the higher the pinostrobin content.
