These Honey Pistachio Ricotta Stuffed Dates are a delightful St. Patrick’s Day treat that combines creamy ricotta, sweet honey, and crunchy pistachios for a perfect bite-sized dessert. Easy to prepare and elegant to serve, they make a festive and delicious snack or party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Dates

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted

Ricotta Filling

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tbsp honey (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dates: Slice each Medjool date lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove the pits and gently open them up for stuffing.
  2. Make the Ricotta Filling: In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stuff the Dates: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each date with the ricotta mixture.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top of the stuffed dates. Drizzle with extra honey for added sweetness.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for their soft texture and natural sweetness.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet filling.
  • For a vegan version, substitute ricotta with a plant-based cheese or coconut cream.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
