Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 12 pieces Smoked almonds
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise down one side and remove the pit, creating an opening for the filling.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, honey, and sea salt. Stir until smooth and well-incorporated.
Step 3
Use a small spoon or piping bag to fill each date with approximately 1-2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture.
Step 4
Insert one smoked almond into the center of the cream cheese filling in each date.
Step 5
Gently press the halves of the date together to partially close it, allowing some of the filling and almond to remain visible.
Step 6
If desired, finely chop fresh chives and sprinkle them over the stuffed dates for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Step 7
Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
