Ingredients
- 10 pieces Dried figs
- 10 pieces Dried apricots
- 1 cup Shelled pistachios
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, pulse the shelled pistachios until finely ground but not pasty. Reserve a small amount for garnish if desired.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pistachios, cream cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Using a small knife, make a slit on one side of each dried fig and apricot to create a small pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 4
Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully stuff each fig and apricot with the pistachio cream filling. Gently press the openings closed to hold the filling in place.
Step 5
Arrange the stuffed figs and apricots on a serving plate.

Optionally, add fresh mint leaves for decoration.
