Ingredients

20 pieces Medjool dates
50 grams Almonds (blanched)
2 tablespoons Honey
1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons Crushed pistachios

Directions

Step 1

Slice each Medjool date lengthwise on one side and carefully remove the pit. Set the pitted dates aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the blanched almonds, honey, orange blossom water, and ground cinnamon. Mix until the almonds are evenly coated and slightly sticky.

Step 3

Take about 2 to 3 almonds from the mixture and insert them into the cavity of each date. Press gently to close the date around the filling.

Step 4

Sprinkle the stuffed dates with crushed pistachios for added color and texture.

Step 5

Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate them for up to 3 days before serving.
