Yield Makes 12 stuffed dates

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup/100 g ground almonds
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
2 tsp orange flower water
Food coloring (optional)
12 mejhoul dates or other large, sweet date variety with pits
12 walnut halves or 12 unsalted toasted almonds without skins

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, add the ground almonds, powdered sugar, and orange flower water. Add 1 Tbsp water and work into a paste. The dough should be slightly moist; add a few more drops of water (or orange flower water) if needed.
  • If using food coloring, divide the paste into even parts, add 5 or 6 drops of a single color to each, and work in.
  • Wipe the dates with a damp cloth. Cut a lengthwise incision across the top of each date and carefully remove the pit. Take 1 tsp or so of the almond paste, roll it between your palms into a spherical shape, and tuck inside the date. It should bulge out of the opening. Repeat with the remaining paste and dates. Garnish each date with a walnut pressed slightly edgewise into the almond paste before serving.

I loved the combination of flavors in these stuffed dates. The goat cheese and walnuts were a perfect match.

These stuffed dates were a bit too complicated to make. I would recommend a simpler recipe for beginners.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stuffed dates didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a bit dry.

These stuffed dates were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less honey or maple syrup.
