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!
