Preparation Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Blend the cream cheese, pecans, cranberries, honey, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Make a small slit in each pitted Medjool date to create a pocket for the filling.
  • Fill each slit date generously with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Arrange the filled dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle sea salt on top.
  • Bake the stuffed dates in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the cream cheese is warm and slightly golden.
  • Cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

Select fresh Medjool dates for the best flavor. Soften cream cheese to create a smooth filling. Avoid overstuffing dates to prevent spills during baking.
