These are lovely to look at, and deligtful to eat! Be sure to use Medjool dates. A great, make ahead appetizer, nice on its own or added to a cheese tray.
Ingredients
- 1 8oz container mascarpone cheese, at room temperature (or you wont be able to mix it!) shopping list
- 1 lb. Medjool dates shopping list
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest shopping list
- 2 tablespoons honey shopping list
- 1/2 lb. toasted pecan halves (toast in 350F oven on cookie sheet for about ten minutes. Watch carefully!) shopping list
How to make it
- Make a slit in side of each date and remove pit.
- Mix Mascarpone, lemon zest, honey together till smooth.
- I put this mixture into a ziploc bag, cut off a little piece of one corner, and pipe mixture into each date so it is filled.
- Take one pecan half and place over filling.
- Thats it! Cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge for at least an hour until firm. Can be made a day ahead.
- Medjool dates are expensive and so is Mascarpone cheese. So bring this appetizer out for those who appreciate the finer foods in life!
