Wow! If you loooove dates, and you are looking for a cookie that's chock-full of these sweet, chewy members of the fruit family, then this is the cookie for you. So moist and delicious, it's hard to stop at just one! And the good news is, your overindulgence can be forgiven (slightly!) by the nutritional value inherent in the oats. The recipe comes from the back of a box of Amport chopped dates; you can use those, or for extra moistness you can buy whole dates and chop them yourself. Enjoy!

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pkgs. cream cheese, softened, 3 oz. each
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 pkg. dates, chopped, 8 oz
1 can crushed pineapple, drained, 8 oz
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tsp.vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Mix cream cheese with whipped cream. Stir in dates, pineapple, nuts and vanilla. Place in champagne glasses and chill at least 1 hour before serving. Serves 6 From Mrs. J.W. McAllister

Tips:

  • To make the date paste, use fresh, soft dates. If your dates are hard, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
  • If you do not have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until fine.
  • For a chewier texture, use more dates and less nuts in the filling. For a crunchier texture, use more nuts and less dates.
  • If you want a sweeter filling, add more maple syrup or honey. If you want a less sweet filling, reduce the amount of maple syrup or honey.
  • If you are using a food processor to make the crust, be sure to pulse it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If you use a blender, blend until the mixture is a fine powder.
  • Press the crust firmly into the bottom of the pan. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking when you bake it.
  • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Be careful not to overbake the crust, or it will become hard.
  • Let the crust cool completely before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.
  • Serve the date delight chilled or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Date delight is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This no-bake recipe is made with a simple nut and date crust and a creamy date filling. It is a great way to use up leftover dates and is a healthier alternative to traditional desserts. This gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free dessert is sure to please everyone at your table.
