Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Dates: Carefully slice each date lengthwise on one side and remove the pit to create a pocket for the filling.
- Stuff the Dates: Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each date cavity with mascarpone cheese, ensuring each date is generously stuffed without overflowing.
- Drizzle with Maple Syrup: Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving platter and evenly drizzle the pure maple syrup over them for added sweetness and a glossy finish.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for their large size and soft texture, which makes them ideal for stuffing.
- Chill the mascarpone before stuffing to make it easier to handle.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling crushed nuts like pistachios or walnuts on top before serving.
- This recipe is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to one day.
