Ingredients
  

  • 12 soft Medjool dates pitted
  • Filling of choice see below

GOAT CHEESE, PISTACHIO & HOT HONEY

  • 4 ounces goat cheese softed (try Trader Joe's Caramelized Onion)
  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios
  • 3 tablespoons Hot Honey or to taste

BRIE PECAN & ROSEMARY

  • 4 ounces brie cheese cut into 12 small pieces (about 1 teaspoon each)
  • 12 pecan halves
  • Chopped fresh rosemary

RICOTTA SUN-DRIED TOMATO BASIL

  • 4 ounces ricotta cheese
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest optional
  • 12 oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves
  • 12 fresh basil leaves

SNICKERS (PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE)

ALMOND BUTTER RASPBERRY

  • 6 tablespoons creamy almond butter
  • 12 fresh raspberries

CHUNKY MONKEY (BANANA, PEANUT BUTTER, CHOCOLATE)

Instructions
 

  • With the tip of a small, sharp knife, make a slit in each date, then remove the pit. Arrange on a plate (or if you'll be baking the dates, a parchment-lined baking sheet; see notes).
    A knife slices through a date, with goat cheese and peanuts nearby on a gray surface.
  • GOAT CHEESE PISTACHIO HOT HONEY: Stuff dates with the cheese (I use a small spreader to smear it inside). Sprinkle with pistachios and drizzle with hot honey.
    A plate of dates stuffed with cream, seeds, nuts, and drizzled with honey, surrounded by nuts on a gray surface.
  • BRIE PECAN ROSEMARY: Tuck a piece of brie and pecan half into each date. Sprinkle with rosemary.
  • RICOTTA SUN-DRIED TOMATO: Stir the ricotta together with the salt and lemon zest. Stuff inside the date, along with a sun-dried tomato half and basil leaf.
    A hand stuffs a date with a creamy filling on a plate of dates, pecans, and spices nearby.
  • SNICKERS: Stuff each date with 1 teaspoon peanut butter and a pinch of crunched peanuts. Dip in melted chocolate, then finish with more peanuts on top.
  • ALMOND BUTTER RASPBERRY: Stuff each date with 1 1/2 teaspoons almond butter. Press a fresh raspberry in the center.
  • CHUNKY MONKEY: Stuff each date with 1 teaspoon peanut butter and a banana slice. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top.

Notes

  • If you'd like to serve the dates warm, after stuffing bake them in a 350°F oven; I like to do this with the goat cheese and brie versions. Do not do this with the chocolate variations, as the chocolate will melt.
  • Nutritional is calculated for Goat Cheese, Pistachio, and Hot Honey variation.
  • TO STORE: Transfer to an airtight container. If you need to stack the dates, place parchment or wax paper between the layers. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
