Ideas for Stuffed Dates
I had a bunch of dates and pistachios so here's dates 4 ways. Pictures of each one are attached.
The first one is one of the easiest, most delicious no-bake snacks or desserts. Naturally sweet, creamy, and crunchy—perfect for holidays, or whenever you want something healthy-ish.
Pic 1- Pistachio-Stuffed Dates
Ingredients (makes ~20 pieces)
• 20 large Medjool or Khudri dates (pitted)
• ½ cup shelled pistachios (roasted & lightly salted or unsalted)
• Optional fillings/toppings:
• Soft goat cheese, labneh, mascarpone, or cream cheese
• Tahini + honey
• Rose water or orange blossom water (a few drops)
• Melted dark chocolate for drizzling
• Crushed pistachios or rose petals for garnish
Instructions
• Use a small knife to slit each date lengthwise and remove the pit if not already pitted.
• Stuff each date with 2–4 whole pistachios (or crush them slightly if you want more coverage).
• Optional upgrades:
• Pipe or spoon a little goat cheese/cream cheese into the date first, then press in the pistachios.
• Drizzle with a tiny bit of honey mixed with rose water.
• Dip half the stuffed date in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
• Chill 15–30 minutes (helps everything set if you used cheese or chocolate).
• Serve at room temperature for the best flavor.
Fancy Variations-
• Persian Love Dates (Pic 2): Stuff with a mix of pistachio butter + a touch of cardamom, then roll in finely chopped pistachios.
• Bacon-Wrapped (sweet-salty) Pic 3: Wrap stuffed date in half a strip of bacon, secure with toothpick, bake 400°F/200°C for 12–15 min until bacon is crispy.
• Chocolate Pistachio “Snickers” Dates (Pic 4): Fill with pistachio butter (or natural peanut butter + chopped pistachios), freeze 30 min, dip in melted dark chocolate, sprinkle sea salt.
They keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (or freezer for 2–3 months).
Enjoy! These disappear fast whenever I make them.
