Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 12 pieces Medjool Dates The star of the recipe providing natural sweetness and chewy texture.
  • 4 ounces Goat Cheese Adds creamy, tangy element; substitute with nut butter for vegan option.
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup Pistachios Offers a lovely crunch; crushed walnuts or pumpkin seeds are great substitutions.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Optional; adds a gourmet smokiness.

Equipment

  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by taking your Medjool dates and using a sharp knife to carefully slice them down one side, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through. Gently remove the pits.
  2. Take your softened goat cheese (or nut butter for a vegan twist) and use a small spoon to fill each pitted date generously.
  3. Once all the dates are stuffed, grab your crushed pistachios and sprinkle them generously on top of each date.
  4. Place your beautifully plated Easy Stuffed Dates on a serving platter and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
