Ingredients
Instructions
- Whisk together the sour cream, date molasses, and vanilla in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the pistachios and coconut.
- Arrange the fruit on a serving plate with the sauce and pistachio-coconut mixture alongside. Dip each piece of fruit halfway in the sour cream, then roll it in the pistachios and coconut. Use a fork or skewer for hard-to-hold fruit such as bananas, mangoes, or peaches.
Tips and Storage
- Choose a mix of firm, ripe fruit that is easy to dip.
- Date molasses gives mellow caramel flavor; pure maple syrup is a good substitute.
- Keep the dip and pistachio mixture separate until serving so the coating stays crisp.
- Refrigerate the dip for up to 2 days and cut bananas just before serving.
