How to Make It

Prep the dates: Slice each Medjool date lengthwise and remove the pit.
Don’t cut all the way through—keep it like a little pocket.
Fill with Biscoff: Use a small spoon or piping bag to add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of Biscoff spread into each date.
Add crunch: Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top. You can also add chopped nuts for texture.
Optional chocolate finish: Melt chocolate in the microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each. Drizzle over the dates or dip them halfway.
Season the sweetness: Add a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt to balance the caramel-like sweetness.
Chill (optional): Pop them in the fridge for 10 minutes to set the chocolate or firm up the filling.
Serve and enjoy.

How to Store

Keep your stuffed dates in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. If you’ve dipped them in chocolate, separate layers with parchment to prevent sticking. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months.

Why This is Good for You

Naturally sweet: Dates are rich in fiber and minerals like potassium and magnesium.
Portion-friendly: One or two can satisfy a sweet craving without a full dessert.
Energy boost: Great pre- or post-workout snack thanks to natural sugars and carbs.
Customizable: Add nuts for healthy fats and a bit of protein to keep you fuller longer.

Pitfalls to Watch Out For

Dry dates: If your dates are tough, microwave them for 10 seconds or soak briefly in warm water, then pat dry.
Overfilling: Too much Biscoff will ooze out. A teaspoon or so is enough.
Melty mess: If your kitchen is warm, chill the dates after filling, especially if adding chocolate.
Skipping the salt: A tiny pinch of flaky salt makes a big difference. Don’t overdo it.

Variations You Can Try

Chocolate-Coated: Dip the entire date in melted dark chocolate for a truffle-like bite.
Nutty Crunch: Press pistachios or toasted almonds into the Biscoff for color and texture.
Coconut Snow: Roll the tops in finely shredded coconut.
Espresso Drizzle: Stir a pinch of instant espresso into melted chocolate before drizzling.
Orange Zest: Add a whisper of fresh orange zest over the top for brightness.
Peanut Butter Twist: Mix Biscoff with a little peanut butter for a sweet-salty combo.

FAQ

Do I have to use Medjool dates?

Medjool dates are best because they’re large, soft, and caramel-like.

If you only have Deglet Noor, they’ll work, but the texture will be drier and the dates are smaller, so use less filling.

Can I make these ahead for a party?

Yes. Assemble up to 24 hours in advance and keep chilled. If using chocolate, finish the drizzle a few hours before serving for the cleanest look.

What if I can’t find Biscoff spread?

Use any cookie butter or spiced spread.

In a pinch, mix smooth peanut butter with a little brown sugar and cinnamon to mimic the flavor.

Are these very sweet?

They are sweet, thanks to dates and Biscoff. Balance with dark chocolate and a pinch of flaky salt if you prefer less sweetness.

Can I make them gluten-free?

The Biscoff spread contains wheat. To go gluten-free, use a certified gluten-free cookie butter alternative and skip the Biscoff cookie crumble.

How many should I serve per person?

Plan on 2 to 3 dates per person as a small dessert or coffee treat, and 1 to 2 for a snack board.

In Conclusion

Biscoff stuffed dates are the fast, no-bake treat that always hits the spot.

They’re simple to make, easy to customize, and look impressive on a plate. Keep a batch in the fridge for instant dessert or last-minute guests. Five minutes, a few ingredients, and you’re set with something sweet, spiced, and totally satisfying.
