Sugared & Stuffed Dates ~ No Bake Treats ~ Noreen's Kitchen

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Start by gathering pitted Medjool dates.

Gently pry open each date to create an opening.

Roll a small amount of cream cheese (about a teaspoon) into an oval nugget.

Stuff the cream cheese into the opened date and squeeze it closed.

Roll the stuffed date in granulated sugar to give it a frosted appearance.

Prepare toasted pecans or walnuts by toasting them in the oven until fragrant, then remove them.

Stuff a toasted pecan or walnut into the cream cheese-filled date and roll it in sugar.

Optionally, place a gloss cherry on top of the cream cheese inside the date for decoration.

Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving tray or in mini cupcake liners for presentation.

For a diet-friendly option, roll the dates in coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar.
