Coconut-Lime Stuffed Dates: A Moana Inspired Recipe

Disney Inspired Recipes | Moana | These Coconut Lime Stuffed Dates are inspired by the importance of coconut in Disney's Moana 2geekswhoeat.comYesterday we posted a recipe round up for the home release of Disney’s Moana. As promised, we have come up with our own recipe for Disney’s most recent animated feature. Our recipe for Coconut-Lime Stuffed Dates is a delicious appetizer perfect for enjoying while watching Moana.

The inspiration for our Coconut-Lime Stuffed Dates came from a lyric from “Where We Are”-

Consider the coconut
(The what?)
Consider its tree
We use each part of the coconut
That’s all we need”

The heavy influence of coconut plays an important role in the early part of the movie. Our goal was to create a recipe that had a tropical essence but wasn’t inherently tropical. We also didn’t want to just throw together some tropical ingredients and call it a day. Therefore, coconut became the main focus. The use of mascarpone cheese and lime zest in the filling creates a flavor reminiscent of Key Lime Pie (which is one of our favorites).

Once you start eating these babies you won’t want to stop. What is your favorite movie snack? Do you have a recipe for Moana? We’d love to hear about it!

  1. These sound devine. I love all of these flavors. Next time I need an appetizer to bring somewhere, this might be the recipe I make.
