Ingredients

  • 10 Medjool dates
  • 3-4 tablespoons vegan cream cheese
  • 5-6 walnuts toasted and crushed
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup to drizzle

Instructions

  • Cut the Medjool dates open lengthwise and remove the pits. Arrange them in a single layer on a large plate.
  • In a small bowl, mix vegan cream cheese with fresh rosemary and walnuts (save some crushed walnuts to garnish.)
  • Using a small spoon, fill all dates with the cream cheese mixture, distributing it evenly.
  • Place the dates in a container and refrigerate for an hour. Garnish with chopped walnuts, drizzled maple syrup and freshly chopped rosemary before serving.

Notes

  • You can also use unsweetened vegan ricotta instead of cream cheese.
  • Feel free to use any herbs of your choice or omit them completely!
  • The dates can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days in a sealed container.
