Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Use fresh dates, crunchy pecans, and aromatic rosemary.
If the cream cheese is too cold, it will be difficult to spread. Let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
Don't over-mix the cream cheese mixture. Over-mixing can make it too thin and runny.
If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a spoon to spread the cream cheese mixture onto the bread.
Serve the sandwiches immediately or store them in the refrigerator for later. If storing, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
