- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
Instructions

- For a nut-free version, substitute pistachios with toasted coconut flakes or seeds.
- You can chill the stuffed dates before serving for a refreshing bite.
- This recipe is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
