Ingredients
Scale
- 20 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped
- Optional: a sprinkle of cinnamon or sea salt for extra flavor
Instructions
- Carefully remove the pits from the Medjool dates and make a slit along the side to create a pocket for the filling.
- In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese and honey until smooth and creamy.
- Stuff each pitted date with the ricotta honey mixture using a teaspoon or piping bag.
- Press chopped pistachios into the filled dates and sprinkle with cinnamon or sea salt if desired.
- Place stuffed dates on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the dates for up to a month wrapped securely to prevent freezer burn.
- Feel free to customize by adding shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or a drizzle of additional honey for enhanced flavor.
