Ingredients
  

For the Stuffing
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Softened
  • 1 cup Toasted Pecans Chopped
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries Chopped if large
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Optional
For the Dates
  • 12 pieces Medjool Dates Pitted

Equipment

  • spatula
  • Refrigerator
  • serving platter

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your Medjool dates. Carefully slice open each date lengthwise and remove the pit, ensuring the dates remain intact for stuffing. Set aside a clean plate for the prepared dates.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped toasted pecans, and dried cranberries. Blend the ingredients until smooth and well incorporated, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Take each prepared date and generously spoon the creamy mixture into the opening, filling them without overflowing. This process should take around 10 minutes.
  4. Once all dates are stuffed, arrange them on a serving platter and cover with plastic wrap. Place the platter in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up the mixture.
