These Mascarpone Stuffed Dates with Maple Drizzle are a quick and elegant dessert or appetizer combining the natural sweetness of Medjool dates with creamy mascarpone cheese, crunchy pecans, and a touch of rich maple syrup. Broiled to a perfect golden finish, this recipe offers a melt-in-your-mouth experience reminiscent of classic southern pecan pie flavors but in a clean-eating, approachable bite-sized treat.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 24 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 6 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tbsp Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler: Turn on your oven broiler and move the oven rack to the top position to prepare for quick broiling.
  2. Prepare the dates: Slice each Medjool date lengthwise to remove the pit and create an opening that will hold the mascarpone cheese filling.
  3. Stuff the dates: Fill each date with mascarpone cheese, then sprinkle the tops evenly with finely chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
  4. Arrange and drizzle: Place the stuffed dates on a lined baking sheet in a single layer, then drizzle each one with Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup for sweetness and a glossy finish.
  5. Broil the dates: Broil in the oven for approximately 3 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning and ensure they are warmed through.
  6. Serve: Allow the dates to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
  7. Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • This recipe is adapted from Dates Stuffed with Goat Cheese by The Food Lover’s Kitchen.
  • Watch the broiler carefully, as the dates can quickly go from golden to burnt.
  • For extra crunch, toast pecans lightly before chopping.
  • Can be served as an elegant appetizer or a sweet treat after meals.
