BEST Easy Cinnamon White Chocolate Date Bark Recipe

Gentle Tummy
Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 12 medjool dates
  • 2 tablespoons cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or wafers)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Slice 12 pitted medjool dates in half and place them side-by-side, in four rows of six date halves, on a sheet of parchment paper. Cover with a second sheet of parchment paper and roll them out to about 1/8" thickness using a small rolling pin. 
  • Add butter to a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shredded coconut and salt. Stir until lightly toasted. Transfer to a bow to cool.
  • Add another teaspoon of butter to the frying pan over medium heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and salt. Stir until lightly toasted. Transfer to a bow to cool.
  • Spread the cashew butter on the smashed date halves. Then roughly chop the dried apricots and sprinkle them on the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle the toasted pumpkin seeds. Leave out a few seeds to garnish on top. Then add a dusting of cinnamon over all the layers.
  • Add the white chocolate wafers (or chips) and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals in the microwave. Remove the bowl from the microwave after each interval and gently stir. 
    NOTE: Microwaving the chocolate for over 20 seconds at a time could cause the chocolate to overheat and become thick, clumpy, and impossible to melt again to a smooth consistency.
  • Pour the melted white chocolate over the bark and gently spread with a spatula. Be sure to cover all the apricots, nuts, and the date layer.
  • Sprinkle coarse sea salt, another dusting of cinnamon, and a few of the chopped apricots over the chocolate. 
    Then sprinkle the toasted coconut and a few more toasted pumpkin seeds. 
    Transfer the bark and the parchment to a baking sheet and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Or, you can place the bark in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes until the chocolate sets. Then either break apart or cut the bark into smaller pieces to enjoy!
