Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 12 pieces Raw almonds or pecans
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, slice each Medjool date lengthwise along one side to create an opening, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Remove the pit from each date and discard.
If using cream cheese, in a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with honey (optional) for a slightly sweet filling.
Stuff each date with one almond or pecan. If using cream cheese, spread about 1 teaspoon of the mixture into the date before adding the nut.
Gently press the sides of the date together to secure the filling.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the stuffed dates for a touch of contrast, if desired.
Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
