These creamy, nutty Stuffed Dates are a quick, no-bake treat that perfectly balances sweet, salty, and crunchy. Ideal for parties, tea time, or a quick energy boost.

Ingredients

  • medjool dates: 12 large, pitted, soft and chewy, forming the perfect base
  • cream cheese: 4 tablespoons, softened, adds a creamy tangy contrast to the sweet dates
  • pistachios: 3 tablespoons, finely chopped, for nutty crunch and color
  • honey: 1 tablespoon, to drizzle for sweetness and gloss
  • sea salt: a pinch, to balance and enhance flavor

Directions

  1. 1

    If you plan to toast your nuts, preheat a small skillet on low heat.

  2. 2

    Mix cream cheese and honey in a small bowl until smooth.

  3. 3

    Slice each date lengthwise to remove the pit without cutting it fully in half.

  4. 4

    Fill each date cavity with the cream cheese mixture using a small spoon.

  5. 5

    Toast pistachios lightly if you prefer extra crunch and flavor.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top and drizzle with honey.

  7. 7

    Arrange on a platter, add a pinch of sea salt, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
