Ingredients

For the Dates

12 pieces Pitted Medjool Dates Choose these for their rich sweetness and chewy texture

For the Cream Cheese Filling

4 oz Cream Cheese Use full-fat for a rich and creamy filling
1 tbsp Honey This will add a delicious floral sweetness
0.25 tsp Cinnamon Provides a warm and inviting flavor

For Topping

0.5 cup Chopped Toasted Pecans These add a delightful crunch

Instructions

Prepare the Dates: Carefully create a small slit in the middle of each pitted Medjool date using a sharp paring knife.
Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together 4 oz. of softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of honey, and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Stuff the Dates: Gently pipe the creamy mixture into each date, allowing it to slightly overflow.
Coat with Pecans: Spread the chopped toasted pecans on a plate. Gently dip the cream cheese area of each filled date into the nuts.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the stuffed dates until you're ready to serve.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with additional honey before serving for an extra touch of sweetness. Handle dates gently while creating slits; avoiding splits helps maintain their chewy texture during stuffing.
