Ingredients
  

For the Dates:
  • 12 Medjool dates pitted
For the Filling:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 0.25 cup shelled pistachios chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey plus more for drizzling

Equipment

  • Small Bowl
  • Serving plate

Method
 

  1. Carefully slice each date lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and chopped pistachios until well combined.
  3. Gently open each date slightly and fill with the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving plate.
  5. Drizzle generously with honey.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for creamiest filling. Toast pistachios lightly for extra flavor. Add honey just before serving to prevent sogginess. Experiment with different nuts or add a pinch of sea salt. Great for parties, snacks, or dessert boards.
