They’re quick to make, gluten-free and the sweet and savory combo keeps everyone coming back for more. When you need a quick and easy appetizer that tastes gourmet, these Honey Cream Cheese Stuffed Dates will be your saving grace. This sweet and savory combo will have everyone coming back for a second, or third date😉 All you need are 4 simple ingredients to make these flavor bombs, which happen to be gluten-free and can be made dairy-free🙌 Why these stuffed dates are so great They are the perfect finger food for entertaining, holidays, or taking to parties. You can easily prep these little bites ahead of time and store in the fridge until it's time to party! Naturally gluten-free A great addition to Rosh Hashanah celebrations. The drizzle of honey over the fresh fruit (yes medjool dates are a fresh fruit!) helps to welcome the sweetness and freshness of the new year which is really beautiful! Ingredients you'll need: Joolies Pitted Dates You can't stuff a date without a date! We love using our pitted option for these, but whole work just as well! Just be sure to remove the pit as always 😉If you're running low on your stock of dates, you can buy some in bulk right here or in our 2 pack right here! Cream Cheese This adds a great creamy texture! You can also use a dairy-free cheese if you so desire. We really love Miyoko's vegan cream cheese as an alternative for the same thickness and flavor. Pistachios Crush these up to add a little nutty flavor + crunch. You can totally swap for a different nut/seed of choice like walnuts, pecans, or pumpkin seeds. Honey A little drizzle of this brings everything together and enhances all the flavors. You can omit or swap for Joolies Date Syrup!
