aip prosciutto-wrapped dates recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup solid cream from the top of canned coconut cream (chilled in the fridge overnight)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 and 1/2 tbsp nutritional yeast

  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 6 dates

  • 6 pieces of prosciutto (look for brands with the only ingredients: pork and salt)

Directions:

  • Remove prosciutto from packaging, gently twist each piece (as pictured), and lay down on air fryer basket

  • Air fry prosciutto at 350 F for approx. 5-7 mins (you want them lightly crisped but not crumbling/falling apart when bent)

  • To prepare stuffing place coconut cream, olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, and garlic powder in immersion blender cup

  • Blend with your immersion blender for a few minutes until fully combined

  • Allow stuffing to sit in the fridge 30 mins to 1 hr to firm up slightly

  • Pit your dates (or use pitted) and gently use your fingers to hollow out the inside of the date

  • Use a piping bag (or plastic bag with the corner snipped) to pipe the chilled stuffing into the dates (do not overfill, as some will squeeze up when toothpick is inserted)

  • Wrap the prosciutto around the stuffed date and secure with a toothpick

  • Enjoy!
