Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Evenly spread the unsweetened shredded coconut on the baking sheet and toast it for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Mix the cooled toasted coconut with the cashew butter in a medium bowl until creamy and well combined.
  4. Open each pitted date slightly and fill it with a generous portion of the coconut-cashew mixture. Place stuffed dates on the lined tray.
