Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tsp Honey (optional)
- 2 tbsp Chopped nuts (such as walnuts, pistachios, or almonds, optional)
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise on one side to create an opening. Remove the pit if the dates are not already pitted.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with honey (if using) until smooth and combined.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each date with approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture. Adjust the amount based on the size of the dates.
Sprinkle the stuffed dates with chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor, if desired.
Finish with a light pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-savory balance, if you like.
Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving platter and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate them until ready to serve.
