If your medjool dates still have pits, make a shallow slice down the middle of each date (be careful not to slice all the way through) and remove the pit. Gently open each date to make space for the filling.
In a small bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, maple syrup, and non-dairy milk. Mix until everything is well combined. The mixture should be moist and hold together when pressed between your fingers. If it's too dry, add a bit more maple syrup or milk until you reach the right texture.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted.
Spoon the coconut mixture into the middle of each date. Dip half of the date in melted chocolate, then top with a whole almond.
Place in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Enjoy!
