With holiday parties just around the corner, I wanted to share a super quick recipe that anyone can throw together last minute and you only need three ingredients. If you’re like me and always on the go, you probably don’t have the time to prepare big fancy dishes to bring to dinner parties or social gatherings, but you also don’t want to show up empty-handed! These stuffed dates look fancy and when you lay them out on a festive plate, they are a great addition to any feast.
Yummy Stuffed Dates
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Crushed Nuts (I used pistachios)
- 1 Cup Shredded Coconut
- 15-20 Pitted Dates (You want the dates to be sticky, I like the honey dates for this)
Super Easy Directions
- If your nuts aren’t already crushed, you can put them in a ziplock bag and then crush them with a mallet or in my case a hammer…you want them to be pretty crushed, not into powder but enough that you can stuff it into the center of the date where the pit used to be.
- Now with the coconut, you can do one of two things, you can either mix the coconut with the nuts and stuff it all into the center of the date or, if you’re using the sticky honey dates, you can stuff the date with nuts and then roll the stuffed date in the shredded coconut afterward. Either way, they will be delicious!
Enjoy!
