Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
8 Medjool dates
1/2 cup whole raw almonds, skin on
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
Pinch of coarse salt
3 clementines or tangerines, peeled and separated into segments

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir together mascarpone, cinnamon, and sugar in a small bowl. Cut a slit lengthwise in each date, and remove pit. Fill each date with 1 tablespoon cheese mixture. Refrigerate dates until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
  • Toss almonds with oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven until fragrant and deep golden brown, about 10 minutes; sprinkle with salt. Arrange toasted almonds, stuffed dates, and clementine segments on a serving platter.
