Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons Maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Chopped walnuts
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the dates by making a lengthwise cut down the center of each one, being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove the pits and set the dates aside.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
3. Fold the chopped walnuts into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
4. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each date with the maple-nut cream cheese mixture. Gently press the sides of the date around the filling to secure it.
5. If desired, sprinkle crushed pistachios on top of each filled date for added crunch and color.
6. Arrange the dates on a serving plate and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
