Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Start by preparing your dates. Make a small slit in each date and remove the pit.
- In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and orange zest if using. This little touch of citrus can elevate the flavor.
- Using a small spoon, stuff each date with the ricotta mixture. Don't overfill; a little goes a long way.
- Drizzle honey over the stuffed dates. I find it easiest to use a honey dipper for even distribution.
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top of each date. The crunch adds a wonderful texture contrast.
- Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for a more refreshing bite.
