Ingredient Notes

• Medjool dates: This variety is larger and sweeter than others, and work best for stuffed dates. Don’t swap them!
• Chocolate chips: If needed, melt your chocolate with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil to thin and make it easier to drizzle. You can use milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate — your choice.
• Flakey salt: I keep a big box of Maldon flakey salt in the cupboards for desserts like this.
• Cream cheese: We’re swapping the usual nut butter in stuffed dates for cream cheese, for more of a cheesecake flavor and a nice sweet-and-savory balance. You can use any cream cheese you have, including plant-based or whipped cream cheese.
• Toppings: You can top these with any crushed nuts or cookie crumbs, but I like a mix of graham cracker crumbs and chopped pecans best.

How To Make Cheesecake Stuffed Dates

Step 1: Open dates, remove the pits, and spread cream cheese inside.

Step 2: Drizzle with melted chocolate, and top with flakey salt and other toppings.
