Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ounce / ½ cup cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp honey
16 - 18 medjool dates
4 Tbsp crushed nuts (I used a combination pistachios, almonds, and walnuts)

Steps:

  • Place the softened cream cheese and honey in a medium sized bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer for about 30 seconds - 1 minute, until smooth and creamy. Place in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, until chilled.
  • Pit the dates. Carefully slice the dates lengthwise with a sharp paring knife, and then remove the seed. Set the date aside.
  • Fill the dates with the cream cheese using a piping bag and a round nozzle. (In case a piping bag isn't available, it's possible to use a Ziploc bag - just snip off the end, fill with the cream cheese mixture, and pipe.) It's also possible to skip the piping, and fill the dates with a small teaspoon.
  • Place the crushed nuts in a small bowl. Place one date, cream cheese top down, in the crushed nuts. Then turn them around and place in a serving bowl or platter. Do the same for all the dates.
  • Serve right away.
