Stuffed dates are a delicious and nutritious snack made by filling dates with a variety of sweet or savory fillings.
To make stuffed dates, you’ll need to start by pitting the dates, removing the seed from the center. Once pitted, the dates can be filled with a variety of different ingredients. Sweet fillings might include almond or peanut butter, cream cheese, honey, or chocolate chips. Savory fillings might include cheese, nuts, or herbs like rosemary or thyme.
After the dates are stuffed, they can be eaten as is or rolled in a topping such as chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or cocoa powder. Stuffed dates make a great snack or appetizer, and can be a healthier alternative to traditional desserts or snacks. They are also a popular treat during Ramadan, as they provide a quick source of energy during the day-long fast.
