- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Servings: 12 stuffed dates
- Skill Level: Easy
- 12 plump, pitted Medjool dates
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons crushed almonds
- 1 tablespoon crushed pistachios
- Optional: a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness
- Gently open each pitted date along the slit, ensuring not to split them completely in half.
- With a small spoon, carefully fill each date with about a teaspoon of almond butter. Be generous but ensure the date can still gently close around the filling.
- Once all the dates are filled, sprinkle the top with crushed almonds and pistachios for that delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
- If desired, add a light drizzle of honey over the stuffed dates for extra sweetness and a lovely finish.
- Arrange the stuffed dates artfully on an elegant plate, creating a beautiful display that invites everyone to reach for one.
For a vegan version, feel free to use any plant-based nut butter. You can also experiment with other fillings like peanut butter or even a blend of cream cheese with cinnamon.
Store the stuffed dates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They’re best enjoyed at room temperature, so take them out a few minutes before serving.
These stuffed dates pair wonderfully with a warm cup of mint tea or a glass of cold almond milk. They also make a delightful addition to a cheese board or alongside a platter of fresh fruits and nuts.
